Fivetide Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Google is a force for freedom on the internet?!!!!???! The "do no evil" policy got thrown out of the window years ago, now it's "do no evil, unless we can make some money out of it". yes ok point taken. it seems to be a depressing trend - internet company starts with lots of fluff about new ways of doing things, individual freedom is king. then the cash signs start rolling in and suddenly it's adverts inserted on your hard-drive and tailored marketing and revenue streams. but they're still better than fox.

Wildcat Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Ah, but how does it compare with the anti-Facebook hysteria you get in the Daily Fail? The Mail did set an extraordinary but predictable standard with a Facebook causes cancer story. It even goes further with Facebook causing strokes, heart disease and dementia as well!

falpere Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Perhaps people would rather read lies from their 'friends' for free, than pay to read them from a 'newspaper'! Bit of competition always makes the daily toilet papers have a spit back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwkittie Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thankyou Basil, I reckon thats the reason. Its just getting beyond a joke with that paper at the mo. They had a story in today that blamed a 15yr old girl going missing on FB, then in the story it didnt explain anything about facebook but it did mention that this girl spoke to a guy regularly on MSN. If it wasnt for the football dream team in the paper I wouldnt touch it MSN must be evil and be to blame then surely! I think that such idiotic children could probably manage to get themselves into trouble with or without Facebook to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Diego Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Maybe the fact that Rupert Murdoch owns a rival social networking site? http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/general/277105/opinion-facebook-mass-hysteria-and-rupert-murdoch Ha, ha I didn't know that. Newspapers being dishonest to support their owners agenda, who'd have thought it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
