Zuckerberg lost 16.8 billion yesterday. Partially due to reduced FB use. BOYCOTT FB

[Thekaspervote]

Please any and all please please stop using FB, there are lots of ways to stay in touch with friends and family besides aiding and abetting a trump allie

1. Good luck with that

I've exhorted folk to drop facebook completely for a long time. No convenience, no ease of access is worth enabling Zuckerberg's manipulation of public opinion.

2. I left FB and Twitter a few months ago. Much happier...haven't regretted for a second.

My daughter thought it would be a bad idea - as an author, as someone who travels to give talks - hasn't impacted me in the least (and wouldn't care if it did).

3. There are some very adamant Facebook apologists here on DU

no matter how egregious the crimes of Facebook, they still defend it and themselves.

4. Most people I know stopped using Facebook

they still have accounts but posting has slowed to a trickle. Ironically the same folks use Instagram more and more.

5. Couldn't happen to a nicer oligarch

6. I use it every couple of weeks for an hour or so

I’m not going to give it up completely, to be realistic, but I don’t miss it in between visits.

7. Never signed up. Never will. nt

8. Yay finally - making choices about where we spend our $$ and where we click - thats where our power

lies.

Take on Twitter as well - another major Twitler enabler.

WHAT is the hold that these things have over people? I dont get it.

If people seriously cant live without them, then why cant some innovator up with a substitute that respects privacy and doesn enable facists? Isnt capitalism all about providing consumer choisces???

9. I closed down my account months ago. Haven't regretted it. nt

10. Happy to hear there are some that refuse to use FB.. hopefully it will be a trend

11. Disappointed, but not surprised that this thread got so few responses. nt

12. Haven't deleted my FB account yet.

I should remember to do that this quarter.

13. Deleted mine during the second Obama term.

BP is now lower and I don't have to shower 2 times a day after reading insanity from my relatives (half of them are Trump Davidian repukes).

14. I need to be on FB right now for personal reasons

that I won’t go into, but I noticed this morning that posters are having a grand meltdown over the senate’s phony balogna trial. Ppl are blowing up the site with angry posts, cartoons, informational links. Almost thought I was on DU, lol!

15. Zuckerberg did not lose a penny yesterday.

And FB certainly didn't. That is not how the stock market works. FB got their money from issuing stock long ago. Now it is in the hands of third party investors. Zuckerberg would only lose money if he happened to sell any stock he owned yesterday and he had purchased that stock at a higher price. The odds of that is zero.

I remember the last time people were posting about boycotting FB when its stock was trading in the 160 range. That was about 6 months ago.
Now it is trading in the low 200s.....

16. Kickin this Jan 2020 OP

In light of Tim Cook/FB story.
Gonna be kickin up a few more boycott posts too.

Time for people to REALLY EXAMINE their use of (and support for) Zuckerberg and FaceBook.

Really. Examine it! If you boycott Goya and use FB. Examine use/support of FB.

If you boycott Publix and use FB. Examine use and support of FB.

If you boycott... and use FB...
