Default $1Billion Suit Against Facebook

WOW! Surprising, but, if true, not undeserved.

Our answer to that is we: Never used FaceCrap and never will use it.
Caution, think it over, why use it?
Sorry, just an opinion.

Why have a telephone or a television or a computer?

It is how people communicate and send images and ideas and opinions. It is very frequently a good thing.

However, there are some people on Facebook who think their grandchildren are more treasured than mine.

They are mistaken.

There are also some people on Facebook who think I am interested in their political opinions. They are also mistaken ;-)

Anyone can sue anyone over anything. This sounds like a frivolous lawsuit where lawyers are hoping to get a settlement. And they probably will. A long drawn out court case would probably cost FB tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars to defend themselves. They'll probably settle for a few million and the lawyers will get over half and the five families will get a few bucks each.

Nothing free, FB sells your personal information. FB not making billions for the fun/free of it.

You send image and it can be sold, your political views are catorized, the fed gov. Has cart blanch to your information. FB uses its power for political propaganda. I don't think telephone company comes close to that?

Obviously you have no grandchildren to brag about. I really don't care who knows my opinions these days, don't have forever anymore to express them.

You may not realize the sophistication of many hackers including sexual predators. I highly recommend you reconsider posting pics of your grandchildren and information that may lead to many types of exploitation. Innocent bits of seemingly unrelated information that you may not even connect can be very informative in the aggregate. In the wrong hands, this information can make your loved ones vulnerable to all kinds of predators. I won't dwell on the super deviant stuff. But think of the potential for a burglar to know that you or your children have certain valuables (guns, new electronics, coin collection, newly installed alarm system, etc). your children's address is known from previous info such through comments regarding the grandkids school, pics of the family in the front yard maybe showing the house number, the kids names, maybe their new phone number. A quick lookup in the online phone book for that town, and they have the address...Then information a month later regarding a family vacation get together in TV with grandma, with the specific arrival date and discussions regarding activities for the two weeks in TV. See how easily that information can be used for nefarious acts? And this is just a simple, relatively risk free burglary. Much worse can be purchased on the darknet.

I agree. Besides, without Facebook, how would anyone know what I'm eating for breakfast or where I'm going for happy hour or see awesome pictures of my family & friends.
