Scratch

Most of the people on here shouldn't even be on Facebook.

You have to be 13.

it's obvious. the internet must be evil. why don't we just kill the internet? then we won't have any more internet problems...

I'm going to try to be polite here.

This is a ball of fail.

The media has done extensive research into FB's privacy issues, reported it, and FB has quickly patched it up to the media's satisfaction.

I don't see why you're complaining about it.

If I wanted to, I could easily find reasons why Scratch is evil and bad.

Please, I don't mind this cyber issues thing, but debate on sensible topics, like hackers or how to track terrorists communicating plans without intruding on normal citizen's privacy.

Facebook constantly changes their privacy settings to confuse their users. After all, this increases their chances of successfully tricking their users into providing personal information off of which Facebook profits.

Face it - Facebook is a business. They are not trying to please their users. They are trying to make the most money while superficially presenting themselves as user-friendly as possible.

Zuckerberg is most likely a crook (stealing the idea for Facebook, etc.). It is of my personal opinion that at least 95% of successful business people and politicians are corrupt.

Excatly, Zuckerberg has a bad history and should not be trusted with our sensitive information the only reason the media thinks its satisfactory is beacuse facebook has confused then but the policy itself contains many diffrent loopholes that the media hasn't found and they are using that to their advantage beacuse the loopholes allow them to collect and store personal data

and @helltank yeah the terrorist hunting thing uh well im going to have to reaserch that on undergroud websites which is not a good idea so no to that beacuse if I make a false move then its not going to look pretty

Zuckerberg is NOT a crook, I have not seen a shred of evidence(except articles from a HUMOR webiste, for god's sake) that he has a)Stolen the idea for FB or b)Trying to steal our information for no reason whatsoever.

Also, I have no idea what is your opinion on the terrorist thing because I don't get what you mean as you use confusing phrases and words plus you fail to understand the existence of the comma.

By the way, the media isn't as stupid as all that. If a teenager behind a computer screen can conclude that FB is stealing people's data, I think that a group of people specifically sent to find out if FB is stealing people's data would reach the same conclusion.

Are you so naive to believe that Facebook exists purely for the benefit of the masses, and not for personal, monetary gain? Facebook is not stealing personal information - they are taking advantage of what people freely provide.

Secondly, there is compelling evidence to believe Zuckerberg is a crook. News articles, actual e-mail correspondents, plainly display how Zuckerberg may have cheated classmates out of shares (liquidation from ~30% to 5%). The Winklevoss suits must contain some truthfulness, or else Zuckerberg would not choose to settle. Roughly 95% of the time, the politicians, businessmen, people who "get" anywhere in life, are crooks. To "succeed" you must cheat, lie, and deceive.

1)Cheating, lying and deceiving isn't so bad.
2)So... JK Rowling, Stephanie Myers, Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Rick Riordan-They're all crooks? Puh-leese. You're the naive one. The world isn't black and white, ya inexperienced hillybilly.

Pretty overrated, yes, but not an evil website, brimming with malice and selfishness, existing only to rob you of your private information.

Anyone seen that facebook documentary?

I'm assuming you're talking about The Social Network. That is not a documentary. It is a film based on the story of the creation of Facebook.

More on topic, I don't have a Facebook, and I don't intend to ever get one.
