Just a crazy thought.

People needing to be protected from their own stupidity if slowing innovation in this country. Not to mention, it’s preventing my kids from being able to play in really sweet playgrounds at school.

Symptomatic of macro trend of FB prioritizing revenue at all costs…IMO a good sign that the down trend is about to start:

Don’t want something shared? Don’t put it on FB.

People who complain about it are becoming, in my mind, a bit like people who take up smoking despite the warnings. The folks who started decades ago, before we know about the risks… them I feel for. The folks who started a few years ago fully knowing the risks? Not so much.

Facebook will never share my phone information for a very basic reason – they don’t have it.

We have already had to change a phone number due to an ex-boyfriend who made threatening calls and texts.
