Me too. In particular, where do #BigTech companies like #Google and #Facebook fall on the trust score? Both seem to have lost their ethical and moral compass over the years.
Policing a site like #Twitter or #Facebook is an impossible task since the line between free speech, and hate speech is a very blurry line.
What is acceptable to some, is abhorent to others. Spreading lies is wrong, but what if the people who say them are convinced they are true? You will never be able to please everyone. What on Earth could #Musk possibly do to solve this unsolvable problem? $TWTR $FB
These companies are boycotting #Facebook right now because it's the "in" think to do. Let's be honest, 99.9% of companies only care about one thing - the bottom line. It's a PR move right now to boycott Facebook. As soon as the uproar dies down, or the next big thing is the new talk of the town, all those companies will be back. Probably with even larger budget to make up for lost time. $FB
It seems like the first wave won't end while #Trump is around. That said, what we are seeing is a migration from small business to larger businesses on an unprecedented scale. The economy is not healthy, however, it makes sense there is a mass rush to anything that grows or sustains itself. Be careful of basing things on past performance. Things like #Facebook ($FB) may not ride the growth wave as suspected from here on out.
I've been following what's happening with #Facebook with interest. Do you think companies are all of a sudden feeling so socially conscious that they will never advertise on Facebook again? I think it's more likely this is a very temporary reaction until things come down. If they made money advertising on Facebook, they'll return soon enough once the media spotlight has shifted elsewhere.
Unfortunately, we can no longer trust any of these big tech companies. They care nothing of our privacy or our rights. All they care about is money. #Apple, #Google, #Facebook, #Amazon.
You make an excellent point - I often wondered why anyone would actually use #bitcoins to buy items (except for criminals of course), when it is so volatile. It reminds me of Germany's currency after World War I when people never knew how much their money would by the next day. #Facebook's #Libra is a stale coin which makes far more sense to me. Will $NCTD's Flip Pay be compatible with that?
On the one hand, I don't particularly trust #Zuckerberg or #Facebook. On the other, weren't they just found guilty of privacy violations and required to pay a $5 billion fine and be subjected to oversight? If so, wouldn't that offer some protection? $FB
Thanks @[Mark Borkowski](user:33539), this is a lot of pertinent info that was not in the original article but important to know! Makes me realize the hype over #Facebook's #Libra may be more overplayed than I realized. $FB $LIBRA
Yes, some people don't trust #Facebook with their personal data (nor any other site). But FB has millions of users. If only a fraction adopt #Libra, it will be highly successful. Plus their platform will likely get many to use it, as opposed to just holding it for investment purposes. A stable coin is quite an intriguing idea. And Facebook has real expertise in taking an idea and turning it into a powerhouse. So yeah, I think Libra could be big! $FB
What about how #Google and #Facebook spies on us ever day? And for proof? Just have a conversation about anything and then look as you are shown ads about what you were talking about on your phone, or how the very question you were asking a friend is now automatically appearing in the Google search bar. That's downright creepy!
