Dear Facebook,
Thanks....
But, you’re beginning to remind me of the character, “Judy” in “Leave it to Beaver”
#1... just because I “like” a post doesn’t mean I necessarily agree with everything in it.
#2 “Mass Com 101” taught me all about the “gatekeeping process”
#3 It’s your platform, largely unregulated for NOW, so you have every right to remove something... but I don’t want to hear about it.
No need for you to re-educate me. By you putting me in the box boss!
I’m a big boy...I can do my own research and draw my OWN conclusions!
Thanks and have a blessed day!
Sincerely,
Mark Alford

Good for Mark. At least he's pushing back against the machine.
ReplyDeleteFacebook sucks big time.
ReplyDeleteFacebook cracks my up. You can share something that 3 million other people have shared, and suddenly the wheel of fortune stops and they nail you for spreading false information.
ReplyDeleteHe’s a Douche and Facebook is a Douche.
ReplyDeleteDouche on Douche Crime....
"Critical Thinker"?
ReplyDeleteOne out of two isn't bad.
Pick one!
All Party thought must be pure and unadulterated
ReplyDeleteFacebook, Twitter and the other bullies on the block need to become regulated. Too much power in the hands of too few companies with too many employees who think they know best as to how you should think and what kind of thoughts you should share.
ReplyDeleteBiggest putz on TV. Unable to even read a simple story.
ReplyDeleteTurns out he's an even bigger putz on the internets.
How did you find an autographed picture of him?
ReplyDeleteThat would mean someone actually had to request it?
That is more disturbing than the actual article!
