Facebook's Final Zuckup
This adbusters article goes over the many things that Facebook has done to make its users mad. They call them Zuckups, changes that Mark Zuckerberg is bringing to Facebook that makes people want to delete their accounts, if they could.
The main thing that Facebook has done to enrage people so much was shutting down the organizing page for the Third Intifada, a group made for a popular Palestinian uprising to shake off Isreal's brutal occupation that had over 200,000 supporters.
This "silencing of the people" triggered outrage throughout Palestinian Facebook users, and now Adbusters is saying this the last straw, and calling for people all over the world to deactivate their accounts.
Discussion Question: What would it take to make you deactivate your Facebook account?
If facebook was found giving out information to a third party then I'd delete my facebook account. Even though they say it's against their policy, I'm sure people are able to get any information from them anywho.
ReplyDeleteUgh, Facebook changes are so annoying because it takes a while to adapt to the new layout or features! And what would it take for me to deactivate my Facebook account? I have done it before because it is such a distraction. Especially when it comes to me trying to study and do homework. Also, I even think about it now because it really is starting to get boring.
