Is Facebook Evil?

I closed my facebook account almost a decade ago and I do not regret it. Also whatsapp which facebook owns. This company is not evil, I think that is a bit harsh. But facebook brings no value to this world at all.

@cardio79 Do you think it was a good idea when it was first launched? I remember MySpace & I think that was a neat networking site.

When it launched yes because it was made so we could connect with family members etc. But as we know anything once it becomes popular companies want to find a way to make money money money. The all mighty dollar always wins out. Facebook does not care about us connecting with our loved ones. We are a product to them. Simple as that.

@cardio79 I feel exactly the same way. However, I think we can still use FB in a purpose-driven manner. The key is not to let it overtake our life.
