My question is - why does anybody GAF about FB?
Because 1.7 BILLION use it. That is BILLION with a B. That's a [bleep] of folks for those who have problems with big numbers. That is 1.7 billion people that exchange information instantaneously. FB and Twitter now drives the MSM. If you read any of the NY Times firing of their Op Ed Chief, you will see that she called out the Times staff for being manipulated by Social Media. So while you might not care to have a presence on FB, it is a major force/influence in world right now.

It isn't just Facebook.
Take my little weblog-- the link is in my signature line. Six months ago, I could pretty much count on 200 hits a day as a base. If I'd published something new or it was getting on toward deer or turkey season, that might jump to 400-800 hits a day. I'm right now sitting at about 75 hits/day. If I look at the traffic, its mostly people being referred from sites like this or folks who know my site who are going there directly. Google searches to my site have all but disappeared. A year ago better than half the hits were coming from folks Googling something like "What's the best deer rifle?" or "How do you take a Turkey's temperature?" The latter was funny; every year I'd get thousands of hits over Thanksgiving from Japan. Folks over there would find my site and think that question had something to do with cooking. If they read the article, they found a humorous piece with the phrase: "Pick the bird up by the legs, get your boot firmly planted on his neck, and attempt to insert the thermometer under his tail." Sadly I had to ban all traffic from Asia last year, because there were too many hackers. I now have to block everyone except USA, Canada, Australia, GB, Sweden, and The Netherlands.
My surmise is that anything to with anything re Conservative politics, Conservative values, and stuff related to shooting and hunting are being quietly forgotten by Google and unless you're paying for a bump in the listings, you're gone.
A guy from Breitbart was talking about this on Tucker Carlson. Right now, you can't find Breitbart articles on Google unless you preface it with "Breitbart." Haven't you read about "reformed hunters"? Lol.

Since the advent of Tinder, Bumble, etc FB lost a lot of its appeal... for me at least.

I've never joined FB. I am disgusted by the men I work with that are consumed by it. They look at it every chance they get oblivious to anything else.

Why don't we BAN anyone who uses F B ? Good idea. But I wonder if we could go a step further in protecting ourselves by banning some additional demographic, possibly one with an ethnic connection to Faceberg? Not just from this site mind, but the country.

A large part of FB is compromised of localized, smaller pages that allow community members discuss local problems. When you control what people are allowed to post you make it appear that everyone disagrees with you which causes dissenters to remain quiet.
It is not unlike voter suppression.
Whether a person uses the service or not (I do not) it is still a 1st Amendment issue. And it’s dangerous.
Very well put.

Shutdown Facebook and half of the world would go into withdrawals. The other half would be totally lost.

never had facebook because I used to be a missions minister and was overseas a lot and China searches facebook and anything they can to find out about people entering their country. Many have been turned away at point of entry because of things on their facebook about going on a mission trip or all kinds of stuff.
my wife has facebook, but rarely uses it.
my church has facebook and post my sermons on their, as I'm no longer a missions leader, but I am a bi-vo pastor. Wondering when/if that is going to cause me a problem.

I can't get back on fakebook. I'm amazed you can pour a bowl of cereal. Much less navigate Facebook.

Facebook, Twitter, et.alia survives and prospers on the Updike principle of, ‘there’s no act so private that it doesn’t cry out for applause’.
People just love to run their mouths, mostly saying, ‘look at me’. Period. Agreed. A good place for sheeple to hang out.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

That is exactly like me getting banned form some gay-bar.
I would not care (or even notice) because I have never been there even once----- and I never will.
Why would anyone be so foolish as to support the enemy who is trying to destroy them?

Facebook matters because while they may not be able to control everyone they can control enough to sway elections. +1 Just because people here don’t agree with it, millions and millions are gullible to what they are fed there. 95% of news pop ups on these social media sites will be pro Biden and anti Trump. Bet on it.
