Facebook Problem

It seems the problem with Facebook the other day was self-inflicted. When they switched servers, things went wrong.

That was a technical problem.
However, Facebook is in the hot seat from both left and right sides of the aisle. If you compare Facebook (and Twitter, et al) to the telephone company a standout difference is that the phone company does not listen (unless there is a warrant) to what is said. If Facebook could not to see (or simply ignored) what users post, then many of Facebook's troubles would not have materialized. There would have been no censoring or tagging of posts as misleading or incorrect, there would have been no collection of information that makes people feel threatened, there would have been no trend to creating self reinforcing islands of opinion. Of course that would also have required a different business model.

Let's face it. Facebook is a money machine, and that's all that matters.

I made a simple humorous statement on facebook and my account was closed. Piss on facebook!

Made in jest, but poor results.

I myself have ZERO use for the platform. I have not used it in almost 2 years because of censorship and disagreement with their policies. It's my choice everyone makes there own. Yes it is all about money and control

If you haven't been in Facebook jail, you haven't lived a full and exciting life.

That’s what happen when you have to scrub your servers to get rid of evidence. Who on earth needs Facebook?
