Facebook Urges Users To âQuit Bitchingâ About Privacy Policies
AÂ disgruntled mediator of the Facebook Products & Services page finally cracked this morning, posting a status that was what he claimed everyone at the company has been thinking; âStop bitching about our privacy settings. Itâs not like you even pay forÂ this service.ââWe slave over theseÂ new apps, services, and features to make staying in touch with friends and family easier and more enjoyable. We even give the individuals a chance to decide to what degree they would like to be Facebook-stalked. So, we collect some data. So what?â said the post, made earlier today.Of the 167 million people who have liked the product service page, many immediately replied that they hated being required to get Facebook Messenger on their phones, stating the terms and conditions did not respect their privacy.âOh, you want more privacy? Didnât think that was your first concern, seeing as howÂ you blast your friendsâÂ feeds with a play-by-play of a fight with your boyfriend, of the food youâre having for dinner, and the consistency of the shit you took this morning.Â This whole entire website is based on voyeurism. You post every one of your stupid thoughts and inane opinions, but youâre worried about what weâre doing with yourÂ information.Â Really?âOne use replied âSTOP GIVING OUR INFORMATION TO THE GOVERNMENT,â to which the unnamed Facebook employee commented, âOh, shut the fuck up with your conspiracies -Â Do you think the feds really care to track your weed runs, anyway, loser? Are you that important? If youâre carrying a cell phone, the government can track you on their own without our help, anyway.âUntil it was taken down, the initial postÂ got a hundredsÂ ofÂ âLmfaoâ comments, as well asÂ several people saying they would delete their accounts and move to other social media websites. Most of those had responses from other users asking âwhere in the hellâ they would go, as they correctly pointed out that Facebook is the only social media website that people care about. The post itself had just over 97,000 âlikes.âIn an email announcement, Facebook representative Erin Slate said, âFacebook has terminated the posting employee from his position, and have also deactivated his person account. We recently sent out aÂ notification to users to let everyoneÂ know we care about privacy concerns. Obviously, this one individual does not speak for the company as a whole, even if we did give him full access to our page, passwords, and servers.Â We appreciate positive user feedback, and always strive to improve satisfaction. All the changes we make are to make our users even happier. Please see our data policyÂ for more details.â
