Im guessing that they would just then go to this new company.

Im sure it would work out better this time, since it's the same people, with the same attitudes and culture.

and wouldn’t work for the likes of Zuckerberg.

who deserve to be jobless?

Think of how many people would be without their livelihoods if we did!

What replace it can have a policy of censoring obvious lies, bots and hate groups and hate speech. This is not rocket science.

this is a trend that continues until fb is no more.

shit company.

Agreed, garbage company.

holding up Rupert Murdock's stock. Murdock's been the Saudi's baby for a long time.

...needs to be investigated about his and Farcebook*s involvement in the 2016 election hacking. It's time for the arrogant little prick to face the consequences of his actions.

#DeleteFacebook #Farcebook

I seem to be in the majority here!

Soon, individual states will start enacting their own laws. Gone are the days of selling user information.

Way to go, Europe!!!

If Facebook is dying, that won't be Facebook.

That’s a like

but Twitter, the company that enables President Abusive Gaslighter, that's DIFFERENT.

DU can't get enough of posting Tweets.

...about the continuing abuse of terms of service by #tRump.

To the best of my knowledge, Twitter has not been implicated in the 2016 Russian* hacking of the American elections. Do you have other information?

I didn't say they were implicated.

I hold the OPINION that they are ALSO toxic to our Democracy.

thank you for tweeting at them.

...however, Twitter has refused political advertising and has made good faith efforts to weed out blatantly untrue tweets. Unfortunately, tRump*s tweets are now official presidential communications, so pulling the plug on tRump* could/would have legal ramifications. The true test for @Jack and @Twitter will be once the #OrangeAnus is voted out of office. If Twitter allows #tRump to continue after January 2021, then we have a major problem and I will be one of the first to delete my Twitter account and take other actions.

See these words? They appear courtesy of Democratic Underground - a Social Media provider.

People talking to each other is good, even digitally.

The problem is when social media platforms, like all businesses, get so big they turn into uncontrollable monsters. Monopolies are bad in any format.

Interestingly, it's when Facebook tries - or is forced - to clean up its act a little, it's the investors who have an issue with it.

That said, it's so true about Twitter. I think they've enabled Trump more than any other company, because it predates the 2016 election by years.

Anyhow, there’s plenty here who use FB regularly.

Seems every day I log in to see another boring story about what some MAGA “acquaintance” has posted, or some long tale about how some DUer has bravely taken on legions of Repubs- defeating them all on his FB page.

$50 Bn did not "disappear". That $50 Bn never existed.

Never had it never will.

and get rid of Facebook. Let them go bankrupt.

so you see the actual face of a relative while talking to that person.

He is a Russian traoitor who is selling out our contrary to a right wing cretin mf45.

Some people who only get their financial news from DU might end up thinking that Facebook is in dire straights. It's still kickin'.

It's actually up more than 30 percent from its lowest point during the past 12 months.

and Facebook keeps reeling in the profits as it sells their data.

Why do you need sites like that? Cellphones allow you to face time people, so you can see relatives, kids, grandkids in real time while you talk to them.

Should have used a

Hope it keeps on dropping

improve their profits. A good first step would be to replace Zuckerberg with someone who cares about the survival of democracies.

It's report is bullshit. Progressives finally see that they need to drop Facebook and many are. So Facebook come up with they are spending a lot to upgrade security on the platform, bullshit, they are doing nothing but continuing to allow lies and sabotage. They are trying to keep progressives that remain from leaving. Please leave and send that company into the dustbin of history.

since expenses and revenue have to be reported to the public. Also they publish user counts so we can see first hand the drop in membership.

And If they published a false report, then that's a crime too.

Either of those scenarios have the potential to send Zuckerburg to prison.

It could be true.

Or it could just be that markets are fickle and hate seeing FB spend money, even if it's on security and privacy.

just one company. Gonna have to tax more than million/billionaires (on paper).

Twitter should be equally scrutinized and shunned. DU supports both social media outlets. There are hundreds of Twitter and FB posts here daily, including trump's twitters. There's no real backlash here against FB or Twitter. Meh.

n/t

Just stop & false ads
