What is Facebook?

Facebook is recognized as the largest social networking site in the world.

Witnessing the incredible acts of support individuals show each other in difficult moments inspires us, with instances ranging from fundraising initiatives to life-saving assistance shared via posts or blood donation sign-ups. The Facebook application streamlines the connection process with loved ones and facilitates the discovery of new friends through features like Groups, Watch, and Marketplace, which are designed to align with shared interests. These functionalities not only enhance personal relationships but also pave the way for communal development and mutual aid. Ultimately, our goal is to empower people to build meaningful connections and foster a supportive environment.

    A remarkable and global network

    Updated: Oct 31 2022
    Summary

    Beyond having certain things, such as how they manage privacy, if you are a person who does not develop an interest in these issues, you can use it without any problem.

    Positive

    It allows you to maintain communications on a global scale, which is essential today, in addition to the fact that, due to being one of the best known, it is quite difficult not to find your contacts.

    Negative

    They are not usually quite clear about how they manage privacy, although there are multiple functions which allow you to have a certain control of your privacy, even today there are certain unknowns based on how they manage your privacy.

    Leftist, anti-America, anti-family values + censorship

    Updated: May 02 2022
    Summary

    A much overrated product. One whose time has come. It will be refreshing to see FB fail and free speech replacements emerge. It is awkward to use. More and more we don't know if and who sees our posts and info. It is hyper-controlled.

    Positive

    A few of my friends are there but hopefully they will continue leaving.

    Negative

    Too many to name. The ethos is that of left wing radicals.

    Facebook is against freedom of speech

    Date: Feb 05 2022
    Summary

    Facebook is a good place to connect with friends. It could be a great platform if it did not censor for ideological differences. I predict it will continue to lose users because of its fascist censorship especially when Truth Social is available.

    Positive

    It has a user-friendly interface.

    Negative

    However, Facebook does not respect your privacy. It sells your data and spies on you. The worst part is that Facebook censors users with different ideology from its owners. For example, I was blocked from posting on FB 5 times for 30 days last year only and each time for 100% truthful content under false pretext of misinformation. I have PhD. and do research for life - there was no misinformation on my part, just plain fascism on part of Facebook.

    Facebook - Start of an era.

    Date: Jun 09 2020
    Summary

    My experience with Facebook is very pleasant, I have made most of my college just by surfing through the meme pages on Facebook. It is a great platform to connect with friends and family. Facebook helps in recollecting memories and remembering birthdays and anniversaries and important occasions. But on the other hand, there is a lot of negativity on Facebook in the form of cyberbullying, spread of hatred by memes and posts and there is no barrier to control such events. The importance of Facebook is coming down these days because of rise of other platforms like Instagram, Snapchat.

    Positive

    (+) Facebook is very easy to use, one can set up an account for free of cost and can start using the application.
    (+) Great way to connect and stay in touch with friends and family.
    (+) Sharing of photos, videos are easy on Facebook.
    (+) Facebook also hosts games that you can play with friends.
    (+) Facebook reminds events like birthdays, anniversaries which is one of the best features (Subject to information provided by users)

    Negative

    (-) Annoying suggestions to add friends.
    (-) Verification of accounts should happen because its easy to open a fake account and cheat users.
    (-) Cyberbullying, harassment, the spread of hatred have increased with the rise of Facebook.
    (-) Lots of fake information is posted on Facebook which leads its users in the wrong direction.

    Negative

    Facebook ad platform can be pretty buggy and when I need to get in touch with support there is usually no one helpful available.

    Social distancing while being social

    Date: Nov 30 2020
    Summary

    You definitely have to get onto Facebook of you haven't done so already. Its awesome for the older generation to see what's going on in the world and its great for the younger generation to stay connected in a virtual way.

    Positive

    I love the fact that I am able to keep up with all of my friends and family publicly or privately. Facebook's pages are also great to find people with similar interest or even if you are looking to buy/sell items.

    Negative

    One thing I dislike, is that Facebook's algorithm in which you can only see certain highlighted people all the time. I have a bunch of friends but I only see a handful of what is posted. Additionally, there are too many adds, especially when trying to watch videos.

    A revolution, yet a dying giant.

    Date: May 25 2020
    Summary

    Facebook is a generational giant that has played a part in shaping several major events in the world and redefining how humans connect with each other. It has brought about the entire ecosystem of social networking platforms and completely changed our behavior. We are yet to see if this is a good thing.

    Positive

    - Facebook came along and changed everything about social networking. In fact it was the platform that made the term social networking known.
    - The entire world is on Facebook and it has become a huge marketplace. You are missing out on a lot of opportunities if you're not using Facebook right.

    Negative

    - This platform has become so big that it has entered a phase where people are not sure if it's good for society anymore. People have no idea how much data Facebook collects from their users and laws need to be made to control something like this.
    - The overall value of the Facebook newsfeed has been declining sharply for most people since the last few years. This is particularly because of the increased marketing on the site and privacy concerns.

    A bit disingenuous

    Date: Jun 08 2020
    Summary

    A good product for keeping in touch, but keep in mind it does have a hefty privacy cost even though it's a free product.

    Positive

    I used to heavily use Facebook, both to keep in touch with friends and family, and to stay on top of events within my school communities. It's still exceptional for keeping in touch with people you might otherwise not be able to see in person.

    Negative

    Ever walk down the street and then see that same person's profile in your recommended friends' list? Creepy.

    You have to manually opt out of stuff like allowing search engines to use your photos, and that's good for Facebook's growth but terrible for the users. Not to mention all the hubbub about fake news...

    Love it for what it is.

    Date: Jun 09 2020
    Summary

    I think like most, I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. It is great for so many things, but it definitely has a lot of user error downsides.

    Positive

    I love that you connect with people, find/host events, share photos and more, promote business, raise money and see news that would not otherwise be publicized.

    Negative

    I do not like how it was turned into more of an opinion hub. Though this is user error more than anything, Facebook has definitely encouraged it.
