I wouldn’t feel good using it heavily for personal social media
Apr 02, 2018,12:49 PM
but I gladly use it for watch groups and personal horological posts. Facebook is great for interaction - I love PuristPro but the technology is not very conducive to a fluid interaction.
Also, lots of charities do well from Zuck even if he is morally elastic!

An Opinion: I Don't Use Facebook...
By: patrick_y : April 2nd, 2018-12:34
I don't use Facebook. Do you use Facebeook? What are your thoughts about the ethics and morality of the Facebook dilemma? Will you reduce or stop your use of Facebook because of what you've been reading about Facebook in the news? Mark Zuckerberg, the co-...

Absolutely!

Facebook definitely has its strong points. It's hard to design a system that works well; PuristSPro probably wants individual forums for brands, yet wants us all the partake in all of it. Plus, keeping it all picture rich means there isn't an off the shel...
50% is too much...
By: patrick_y : April 2nd, 2018-16:01
It'd be substantial if 10% of the US Population were to close their Facebook accounts. So, say 20-30 million persons would be an incredible hit!
I have FB
By: Brandon Skinner : April 2nd, 2018-13:10
Since day 1, anything I have shared I feel completely comfortable with any friend/stranger/corporation to know, which btw is not a whole lot! I don't think anyone should be surprised these stories about them come up, or from any corporation or social medi...
Very fair!
By: patrick_y : April 2nd, 2018-16:47
Very fair and objective statement. But even though we give them the information so freely, does that mean Facebook has the right to package the data in a way where other companies/countries can manipulate the public to spend their money or spend their vot...
Ahh. Good to know.

That's a good way to stay in touch with artists!
I had FB in the early days
By: crown comfort : April 2nd, 2018-13:35
when it was still cool. I deleted my account a few years ago, getting fed up with the ever increasing nonsense in the newsfeed. I can't think of anything worse wasting time than FB. Haven't missed it for a second. For professional social networking there ...

use Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat or any of the other social media sites, I may be missing out on a lot but I find out who's doing what, going where ever from real social media, actually talking to people. I've worked in offices where everyone spent more ti...
I don't blame you...

People definitely need to be careful of what they put on FB. Don't post photos of you traveling while you're still traveling!
Class Reunion made Facebook compulsory
By: MTF : April 2nd, 2018-14:46
My class reunion made FB account compulsory to share our photos but I used false account. I don't use social media because it's an additional source of bother when applying for travel visa. I can honestly say: "I do not have personal social media interact...
Right, I can't complain about FB since I'm not there...
By: patrick_y : April 2nd, 2018-17:07
But... Now that FB's problems affect even non-users, especially in the United States of America, I'm starting to feel inconvenienced. Mr. Miyagi is right, but in this case even those who don't use Facebook are affected.
I'm not blaming him

He had an idea and was able to turn it into a multi billionaire company. People, or followers, do voluntarily disclose their own businesses, thus no surprise that those datas might be used to target the followers as customers. NSA is spying us for suppose...

Government is supposed to allow free economic and business policies proliferate. But, Government should help protect the people from their own lack of understanding to protect its own people. Governments require vaccinations of children because it's for t...
The governments should first command these internet 's giants to pay some taxes
By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : April 2nd, 2018-22:09
For "some", I mean at least few billions. Google, or Alphabet, is the same. I'm texting from my mobile, like millions of people, and every time an app ask for the permission to track my position, preferences, activity, they are simply spying my life. Not ...
Absolutely....

agree with your statements and sentiments regarding faceboak ( ), I had opened an account ages ago to see what it is exactly and closed it for good soon thereafter never sharing any remotely sensitive personal information. I feel the same way about other ...
Lol,
By: InHavenPro : April 2nd, 2018-18:18
yes for the most part, the other part of it is that among those corporate accounts is a, relatively speaking, whopping nine personal accounts of AML employees some of whose personal emails and phone numbers I have x). Good guess . Cheers, Filip
I guess it's like anything else...
By: JToddH : April 2nd, 2018-17:00
Used in moderation and with some responsibility, FB is no worse than any other vice. That means we're doomed. Seriously, my bigger concern is what is being done with the data collected and sold by this social juggernaut. Even worse, is Google. Grrrr!
True...
By: patrick_y : April 2nd, 2018-17:23
But there seems to be more vices than "good things" these days. World is a dangerous place! They were almost thinking of labeling Coffee as a carcinogen in California!
This one is okay.

The "TimeOut" forum is a forum for non horological matters. So we're okay about posting "non-horological" stuff here. While I can understand this post does seem to be political, it actually isn't, the topic is more about Facebook and ethics. The discussio...

I tried to bring up a discussion more about what people thought about the ethics of Facebook, but most of the responses are less about the ethics. Nevertheless, a very discussion you started. As always!

You bring up good questions...
By: patrick_y : April 5th, 2018-12:16
Can we stop this? Can we stop the public from doing something that they like to do? Probably not. The public wants to drink and be merry. And we should allow them to do that as long as it's not causing something nefarious or destructive down the road. Opi...

It will take more then BBK to stop this. While there is no sign of danger ahead most Govt will continue to try to get the best of what they can get their hands on for now. It’s the way the world is..sometimes sad but depends which side you are on. Which w...
