Facebook, Snap Chat Or Forums??

[adrian ss]

What are the benefits of Face book over the gold forums?
Facebook is a platform for deviates, Isis and people who want to hide behind a fake ID and for those who would try to chat up and lure under age children.
Facebook should be banned and shut down. Snap Chat and Tinder, or should that be Kinder, are not much better.

Hi Adrian - while I agree with the sentiments you express those mediums/platforms/whatever are popular.

But ... FB is going to change as its popularity is declining. https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/7/18253547/facebook-zuckerberg-future-blog-post-redefining-reputation

They are popular because they enable people behind fake IDs to say things to others that they don't have the guts to say face to face. Bullies and criminals love facebook. It enable them to get away with murder...So to speak.

You have to wonder about Zuckerburgs mentality when he allows such crap to be carried out via Facebook and why he even wanted to establish such an insecure public medium.

You been smoking crack?

There is no difference between a forum and a Facebook account regarding fake IDs,how many people on this forum use their real name or any forum for that matter,you would be lucky if it was 1% of members

Totally agree with koeh. As a matter of fact there are more phoney names on forums than there are on Facebook. The worst and most irresponsible gold forum is the one that allows guests to post any vile abusive rubbish with complete anonymity. It is a haven for cowards and head cases.

I am not aware of Isis using any of the gold forums to plot and plan their hate and death attacks.

Reg, I agree.

The gold forums that I have been or am still a member of very quickly get rid of persistent trouble makers. Sure a person can sign up again using a different user name etc but once a trouble maker always a trouble maker. They cannot resist slinging insults and tossing threats about on or off the forums.
Of course how much BS is tolerated depends on the forum management.
Facebook seems to have a very high garbage tolerance level.. Facebook is dying a slow and painful death.

Facebook killed a lot of great forums,I was on quite a few for car related stuff and there is a couple that have survived but majority have died which is a shame,with forums it is much easier to find past information that has been posted and that is relevant to what you are searching for but with Facebook if you don’t see it you miss it and nothing is in any sort of order ( or maybe I just don’t know how to use it )
