So I uploaded a batch of old-as-shit photos of myself onto Facebook, and after entering amazing and witty, (stupid and poorly-thought-out) one-liners, Facebook decided to be all up in my grill.

No Caption Provided

IT'S ME, FACEBOOK. THERE'S ONLY ONE HANDSOMELY, BEARDED FELLOW IN THOSE PICTURES. QUESTIONS. STOP ASKING THEM.

Just say no tagging. Because fuck Homeland Security*.

I haven't uploaded any photos after the whole tagging thing existed. I didn't know it was so bothersome.

Ya because Facebook is fucking lame.

Hold on some one just tweeted my myspace that my Goggle account just got spammed from those crazy flash mob Youtube channel subscribers.I'd better hop on reddit and warn my fellow americans about the dangers of Facebook tagging and GPS information in digital photos.

Thanks Social Media!!

I'm not too cool to use it. I got tagged one too many times in situations I didn't want to be tagged in. And then some relationship problems blew up and turned into some seriously stupid online junior high bullshit.

On here, I'm relatively anonymous. Not on Facebook. It's not for me.

I like Facebook and think it's really useful.

What? It's cool to hate Facebook? I guess the bandwagon was too full for me to get on, I'll catch the next.

I'm surprised they haven't installed some kind of automatic-face-recognition-automatic-tagging-system yet to save you from doing all that/they can keep tabs on you better.

Also, I have facebook. Its a'ight. Good for keeping in contact with people, arranging events and creeping on people. I find a lot of facebook statuses very cringy/corny though, so I avoid all that shit.

Facebook is insanely useful as is Twitter. I use them constantly. If the government has nothing better to do than watch me post about wrestling and videogames then we are worse off than I thought and I'd be more worried about THAT than the government having any of my "information" which they pretty much already have access to anyways if you have a drivers licence or have ever held any job ever.

Facebook is a data mine for advertisers, how the hell do you expect them to make money any other way.

Facebook is incredibly useful and I like it.

Facebook for mobile, however, is a scourge that must be wiped from this planet with fire and lightning.

I actually use facebook and find it really useful.

I have a private group for me to talk to all my friends who left for university. There are only 8 of us, so I don't get the typical facebook problems.

Let's go into a thread about updates to Facebook and just post that we don't use it so that everyone else knows how much better we are than them.

This is one of many reasons my facebook account has devolved(evolved?) into a Mega Man parody account.

But it isn't the government that's keeping tabs on you.

They make their money from ads and I wouldn't be surprised if they were selling your info. Even if they aren't selling your personal info, they're certainly gathering pie charts and bar graphs on the things that people enjoy.

Who the fuck wants to look at those things, anyway? All I can imagine is some skinny dweeb-ish robot with no life or interests whatsoever that just crunches the numbers of what other people like.

I do hope I didn't just insult someone.

No offense, guys, but there are reasons why Mark Zuckerberg called Facebook users "dumb fucks."

@Catarrhal: Thats because most people who use it are dumb fucks. That doesn't make the tool itself dumb.

*pushes up non-prescription glasses and strokes neckbeard wisely* Personally, I don't even USE the internet. I'm using the power of irony to transmit this message. Also, I do own a TV, but only so I can scoff at it every morning. Fah, say I!
