Is not joining Facebook a sign you're a psychopath?

How much did Zuckerberg pay for this to be published?

That was exactly my first thought.

Social engineering at it's best.

"You wouldn't want anyone to think you're crazy, would you? Create an account RIGHT NOW!"

What he said^.

I haven't had a Facebook account since they opened the floodgates to everyone, not just college students.

I could careless. Besides, I'd rather talk to you nutjobs anyway. :p

I "deleted" my account over four years ago. I've been pestered beyond count to open my account again (by friends). I will never give in! Stay strong people who don't have accounts! There are some of us out there! lol :p

I HATE facebook. I used to be on it all the time as it was my only way of contacting a group of friends I used to skate with but since then I only ever on it if I get a notification email which is very rare or if I'm contacting my tattoo artist as they prefer to use facebook *facepalm*

Im much more afraid of people who share most important personal data (like phone number, home address, family conenctions - and yes, you can still use facebook or google+ without sharing these. beside harvesting data both networks are great communiaction tools), who even doesnt understand concept of elemetary privacy, than people who doesnt have any social network accout.

As for demanding access to profiles by employers - i would rather resing job than giving someone else insight into my personal life/space.

This guy must be an alien or sutin...

No Facebook here. What do I do with all the free time every night? I try to take over the world!

Cause I have a pinky and a brain.

No the pinky is not between my legs.

Alright I can send pics if you PM me.

Just keep in mind that I'm considered a psychopath before pm-ing me. :p

Facebook goes publicly traded.

Facebook stock isn't doing so well.

Article like this comes out to convince people to use it.

Wow, I am shocked.

haha!! :)

I used to like facebook, but recently it has put me off the idea of social networking sites in general which is a bit crap because I'm sure there is a better alternative I just dont want to bother as I never really use fb so would I use another alternative? hmmm

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
