Facebook & The sun newspaper


Recommended Posts

Google is a force for freedom on the internet?!!!!???! :huh:

 

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. :P

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!

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.

heres some from the telegraph that facebooks guilty of

 

The Telegraph copied it from the Sun, I think that later article is intended to distract from the embarassment of copying a story the Sun had fabricated, without any apparent reality or common sense filter.
