DC Tom Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Why would he step down? Facebook answers to him and no one else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'd love for him to step down and be replaced by someone who won't use the platform in politically motivated ways. Fat chance, he's not going anywhere and even if replaced it'll be with someone out of that liberal California/Hollywood mold. I'm barely on the site though and only care because it influences so many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Zevon Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Voted with my heart for "Step Down." My head leans toward "Stay On." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From how I'm reading the tea leaves, it seems regulation is edging from possible to likely. That might change that calculus. But if it doesn't happen - or if this scandal doesn't escalate (which I'm thinking it may) - then he will absolutely survive. Just seemed like an interesting topic considering his upcoming testimony to Congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that won't be a complete disaster. I've been saying for 20 years, AOL IM marks the start of the downfall of western society. I had no idea I'd be so literally correct.

Kelly101 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 3rd choice, dims adore him, and adore stealing peoples info, run him for president. He wins, the caravan of 1500 dim voters making their way thru mexico into the US pushes the election over the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll just take those assbaskets of cash on my way out and live in peace. The only things I need power over are the alarm clock and tv remote. I guess that explains why I’ll never be faced with a choice like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook doesn’t use its platform for anything....the reason it is in the news is because a RIGHT WING ORGANIZATION was able to use it as a platform for its own use...FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like music videos and the resulting drastic reduction in attention spans and requirement of the constant "next thing" resulting in news cycles and lack of patience. I've been saying that for 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think Facebook makes money?. Seriously? You have no idea how they make money do you? They're a data-mining company. The product they procure for their clients is information.. They sell the information they mine to individuals and entities who find it useful to their own ends. Be that other businesses, political campaigns, governments. Whoever, really.
