And facebook is a corporation. According to the radical activist judicial wing of the Supreme Court, they are a person with all the free speech rights in the world and ours has to be subjected to their whims Just quit facebook if you dont like it. In fact I know of a person who did. He hadnt had any luck getting a new job, getting interviews but nothing after that. A week after he deleted his facebook he got 2 job offers. His theory was that companies could no longer dig through whatever data he had about himself in there to use against him.

people do misinterpret what freedom of speech actually is....if you come to a site I own it's no different than you coming to a physical store location I own- I have the right to serve you and set my own code of ethics..your option isn't to tell me I don't have the right, your option is to accept it or don't do business with me........it's no different than the comment that freedom of speech doesn't give you the right to yell fire in a crowded theater. Now, I'm a business moron if I set rules that cause a lot of people to opt to NOT do business with me...but it's still my right.
Facebook veered way off the course they originally set themselves on years ago when they started realizing how much information about their users was being just handed to them....and they started taking tens, hundreds of millions from 'investors' who were interested only in gaining access to that information. I put 'quotes' around investors because...most of that money was coming from companies who didn't care one aiota about Facebook's company health, they only wanted to exploit the available information for marketing purposes.

It is the one piece of technology that women and teens in America gravitated towards in mass. For this demographic, privacy and security are not a high priority and that is why Facebook has become what it has... The number of third party sites that data mine from Facebook is incredible. Signing up to Facebook and even revealing some of the smallest details about your past opens up a whole window of opportunity for those looking to profit off of you... |

I think Facebook jumped the shark about 6 months before they went public and issued their stock...and that was clearly a brilliant move at the time...to esssentially "cash in" while the getting is good and get some fools to invest to keep you afloat so the decline is gradual. |

And here is the beginning of the end...
Is Facebook Losing It's Edge? And this, I think, is a perfect example of what I was saying above... Quote:

At this point there are more people going to Facebook simply for the games and apps...most of which are not Facebook's in the first place.
People smarter than me know this, but if Facebook is willing to somewhat reinvent themselves (look at who they really are now compared to who they thought they were intending to become) they can still remain giants. But yeah, for what most of us THINK they think they are, that edge has been slipping for a couple years.

a company's stock performance often has little to do with their actual health as a company.....it's like our market here...a guy otherwise underperforming for the season has a good couple days..his overall stock gains infer his entire season has been good when it hasn't
