Do companies like Facebook pose a threat to Democracy?

Zuckerburg appears to be just as accountable as Tom Brady is... and that is not at all.

Where the hell is Mark Zuckerburg??????????? A leader cannot be hiding in his bedroom!
 
Only if you have two brain cells.....didn't see that option.

Hiding is the key term. That is what Brady does from the truth. Tom Brady is one of America's greatest cheaters.
 
Poor ol' Zuckerberg: he went from hero to zero in no time.

When the Obama campaign data mined Facebook, it was historic! Brilliant!

When the Trump campaign did the same thing, it's a crime!

I think companies like Facebook and Google pose a threat to democracy and national security. These companies have become so big I believe countries will soon ban them.

How can these companies assure they are handling personal/confidential information safely?

I think action from the U.S government or another country is required. It sure as hell won't be done by the addicted users. Look at where people are complaining about the recent Facebook scandal... on SOCIAL MEDIA!

They have become more than a monopoly in business but a true threat to Democracy. When they allow our enemies to infiltrate our homes and manipulate our minds. Do people realize Facebook has the technology to record us?

The advertisers need Facebook more than Facebook needs the advertisers. Banning facebook may necessary on the basis of national security.

Make like women, insist on equal rights, and make us get used to it!
 
Your own source says you are wrong.



Have you ever been on the correct side of any debate, ever?

I'm usually on the correct side. Like, now.

A. No proof exists that brady cheated

B. Brady has never admitted guilt.

Comparing brady to joe jackson and lance armstrong is a bit extreme.

I think the difference is that Obama campaign got the permission of FB members to use their friend lists....whereas the Trump campaign did not.

He just lost 3 billion...give him a break.

Actually, they didn't. Obama's tech geeks took the whole graph without Facebooks knowledge.
 
I choose ( other) for a few reasons. I agree that the company as it currently is, poses a threat to our democracy as well as poses a threat to our individual right to "Privacy". But the operative words in my statement is (company as it currently is). That is the government has a responcibility to Govern. That's why we have a government. Who would have thought that? Yes Face Book did that online survey but it was Data Analytica who used the information improperly as I understand it in this particular instatance. But again I will say the government has a responcibilty to govern. Not only in this case but also with huge financial institutions who has brought our economy to the brink on many occasions. But as usual, the dems are bad for wanting regulations and the republicans are good for wanting unrestricted capalism. So I think this poll is too narrow in scope as evidenced by the broader picture I have previously referrenced.

It looks like they did...

Do you have a link to the graph?
 
Surely that didn't surprise you?

No, don't worry, I don't feed more than on occasional bitch-slap. Using it's own source to show the stupid, well, it's just so delicious.
 
Data Mine vs Mind Control. Learn the difference

First rule of successful mind control:
- command host to deny mind control works

If mind control is generally accepted to work, second rule:
- command host to deny they have been mind controlled

Reminds me of Futurama with those brain slugs. Visually obvious. Verbally obvious. Yet denies it just the same.

 
Social media is not a threat to democracy. It is a new version of the right of the people to peaceably assemble. It simply allows people to share opinions and ideas. So what if there are ads on there. What I think social media has done is expose just how crazy the population is; it has always been crazy, now we can see it openly. That's not the fault of social media. I don't want government controlling social media. That is the threat to democracy.
 
Depends on how stupid people are, not on social media.

If people cant be responsible enough to uphold their democracy, then they deserve to lose it.
 
Poor ol' Zuckerberg: he went from hero to zero in no time.

And there lies the true threat to democracy: People with an agenda who will stop at nothing...even destroying a company like Facebook...to achieve their ends. The secondary threat are the useful idiots who follow those people with their agenda.
 
Lol. Aren't you a fan of Alex Rodriguez?

The baseball player on the Yankees?

No. I hate the Yankees and dislike baseball for the most part.

Armstrong is more innocent than Brady...
