Fake news site tells me to delete my facebook so I guess I'll keep it. Lot's of anti facebook in the news lately.
Calling it now: Another big social media site is coming soon to attempt to overthrow it. It will be called Pandr and no matter what political bubble you subscribe to, it will make you think that it's on your side. "Where there for you buddy. The other side is bad! Have a Snickers."

It's foolish to keep facebook. In the news or not, they ARE using your information. Almost everyone here knew that well before anybody cared.

So it's a politician. "I like what this guy has to say." Honey, that just means he polled more effectively. He's litterally shouting your own words back at you.

Goybook already does that algorithmically, but I appreciate your pun.

An AI controlled platform that controls both sides of the argument leading up-to the full effects of Operation Mecha-Mockingbird.
Where bots and shills work together against free thinkers and those that think they can do better with less for the sake of generations not yet born. . .

When an online service is free, the user is the product. There are few exceptions, the tech community has always known this. Woz whored himself for a 'free' account, he can only blame himself.

While I agree it's ludacris that everyone is getting upset over something they already knew was happening because "OMG Trump" , the outrage is justified. Facebook would have been wildly successful doing what it advertised itself as: a social networking site that allowed people to connect and collaborate in meaningful ways. But lines were crossed and they should be held accountable. It sickens me to think something like that was ever a thing. I hope this destroys that entire company and the SJWs it employs.

Twitter, Google, and the rest of them are doing the same thing.

As much as I hate Apple Wozniak is a good guy. If only Steve Jobs hadn't come and fucked that company up

Woz is a literal living legend.

If it weren't for Jobs corrupting his ideas the world would be much different
Babbage and Turing were more the inventors of the computer though. Woz modernized it

He's basically the bank roll of EFF. Good guy.

Wozniak might be a fatty but he is a true innovator. Steve Jobs was just the bullshitter.
[–] Broc_Lia ago
I don't think it's fair to say he was just a bullshitter. He was genuinely innovative in some areas, but the argument could definitely be made that his bad outweighed his good.

ITT: retards who know nothing about history weigh in

The Woz is pretty much a cartoon at this point. Nobody really cares what he says or does. His importance ended when he left Apple. That being said, Facebook is Satan's hobby and needs to be destroyed.

But can you imagine that he just convinced more people to leave facebook than we have? He's doing more to destroy facebook with that one action.
[–] 12442261? 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Apple faggots have always been all over facebook like their mouths over a cock.
[–] weezkitty ago
Too bad Apple users are a lot more likely to worship Jobs than Woz
[–] bourbonexpert 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
No one cares. There’s 1.99999 billion more buttholes using it.

Hahah oh yeah, iTunes Ping. That goes down in history with Google Buzz and Google Wave

In his defense, he did suffer brain damage when he crashed his plane.

I am leaving my account open but no longer using it. I figure what is known about me is already known. I do want to preserve my Acct info in case there is a class action suit.
