I’ve written a lot about Facebook over the years.
Good stuff.
Bad stuff.
Questionable stuff.
But the reality is that for all the shit it gets thrown in its direction … for all the talk of it losing its relevance … it’s still super popular and influential.
But as we have all read recently, it has been susceptible to communicating false news.
False news that has enabled bad things to happen … either because it encouraged people to react to things that didn’t require a reaction or encouraging people to believe that everything was OK when everything was absolutely not OK.
To be fair to Facebook, they have openly stated they don’t want this to happen and are taking steps to stop it.
Of course people say it’s too little too late but the fact is, when you have over a billion users, it’s bloody hard to manage all that content and data. But that said, sometimes things happen that are so obviously #FalseNews you have to wonder how the hell they let it happen at all.
Stuff like this …
Come on Facebook … what the hell were you thinking letting this happen?
While anyone who knows me will think it’s bollocks, the fact is even I don’t believe it and I’m as delusional as they come.
For your own sake, you need to understand that while people are willing to accept mistakes, when you let something as stupid as this occur, you’ll find their patience is very thin.
You can thank me later Mr Z, preferably with a cheque for $10,000,000.

Comment by andy@cynic November 15, 2017 @ 7:08 am“He wants everyone to be happy and always smile.”
That might be the most incorrect sentence ever written.
Comment by DH November 15, 2017 @ 7:29 amI think the other 3 sentences are all challenging for a place.
Comment by Bazza November 15, 2017 @ 7:44 amread it again dave, the whole thing is a pack of lies of trump fucking proportions.

Comment by DH November 15, 2017 @ 7:59 amDid you forget who you were talking about and where you were commenting?
Comment by Bazza November 15, 2017 @ 8:05 amThe only semi-accurate bit is where it says I dream big and work hard and I know most of you will passionately argue only 50% (at best) of that is true.
Comment by Rob November 15, 2017 @ 8:14 ami dont agree with any of that fucking statement unless you added “by living off the talent of every fucker i know” at the end.
Comment by andy@cynic November 15, 2017 @ 8:24 amI would argue that is a fair description of you Robert. Maybe not the opening sentence, but the rest represents the individual I’ve know.
Comment by Lee Hill November 15, 2017 @ 9:07 amI think that’s because he knew you could give him free upgrades for the rest of his life.
