I don't believe that there is some conspiracy going on, and I think that if the most Facebook can do with what personal information they have access to is personalize advertisements, that's not exactly oppressive. That said, while I don't think Facebook has a system of oppression in place, I definitely don't think that it has a good effect on society. Social networks are designed to bring people closer together, but in reality, many people, (myself included) would say that they have only brought people further apart.]]> 2017-11-09 18:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/n4nggx4myvg6/wish/205417186 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/n4nggx4myvg6/wish/205776451 https://www.axios.com/sean-parker-unloads-on-facebook-2508036343.html]]> 2017-11-10 17:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/n4nggx4myvg6/wish/205776451 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/n4nggx4myvg6/wish/205780471 https://www.wired.com/story/facebooks-listening-smartphone-microphone/]]> 2017-11-10 18:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/n4nggx4myvg6/wish/205780471 coreya31 https://padlet.com/coreya31/n4nggx4myvg6/wish/205783120 2017-11-10 18:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/coreya31/n4nggx4myvg6/wish/205783120
