Interesting read as facebook participation has been steadily dropping. Many people simply don't like the lack of control and lack of "moderation" that goes on with facebook discussions. Its a social site...not an information site. Its amazing they talk about the members of forums when the worst of the worst are generally on facebook and other social media sites. Facebook was decent when it wasn't dictated to by shareholders...once that happened, they had to monetize it to the maximum degree.
VICE NEWS broke the report about the cancer cures but they also publish articles like this and much worse 75% of the time
Any online discussion site will have the same problems, quirks, eccentricities, etc. as long as the modern generation remains incapable of thinking in anything longer than a couple sentences, coupled with a hypersensitivity to anything deemed remotely "offensive."
I read a really good article this morning about the reemergence of political correctness I was going to post up. Made me too mad though and didn't want to read it again.
In the end, there's good info and garbage in just about any online community. Maybe just harder to filter nowadays.
Like that thread about "what pu$$y tastes like"
