Boys using toys for exactly what Men made them for...

ughhhhhh

I mean why did Zuckeberg make Facebook in the first place? The throughline here is direct.

Facebook was originally a way to connect with your grad class etc. Was there another reason?

No Zuckerberg made it to browse through all of the hot women at his school with other men more efficiently.

Facebook was conceived as a way to browse a web store of "female objects" easier.

Are you thinking of Hot or Not? I think that's what it was called. That was before Facebook, and a separate site. I don't believe it turned into Facebook. He just did that afterward.

Kinda hard for Facebook to be what you say it is when it requires a person to make an account. Even way back then. I got in when it was limited to universities. Haven't used it in about a decade though.

Google the history of Facebook. It's on the wiki. It's in the film.

A film...ooo...I didn't know about this

The film is called The Social Network.

The soundtrack is by Nine Inch Nails.

It was a good movie. Didn't pull any punches. (Though it could have punched harder)

I saw it in theatre when it cost $4.25 Canadian.

Get off my lawn.

Everyone ever involved with facebook is an absolute cunt.

Yeah I was going to recommend the film too, of course it is narrativized in many ways in the way big budget movies like this are, but I also think it does a better job than The Wolf Of Wallstreet at NOT making the villains unironically look cool at the end even though the takeaway is supposed to be that the villains are bad.

This is also a decent list of stuff to check out.

0% surprised. These should be banned (in schools but also in general).

Only ppl ik irl who own and use them are woman funny enough. They use them for their "actual purpose" tho.

Seems like this has a simple solution. Any student caught with these devices on school property is immediately expelled.

Phones have cameras too. You expelling every student who owns a phone?

Recording with a phone's camera is SO much more blatantly obvious, than it is using the meta glasses. these glasses have just made it wildly accessible for folks to record without consent, knowledge, etc. of the subject.

  1. People are not walking around with their phone cameras open 24/7 sending data straight to Meta's servers at all times. This is not something phone cameras do.
  2. Most schools already limit or ban phones in class and the punitive action varies.
  3. Being recorded by a phone is far more obvious. Perv glasses are can record you without you even knowing.

The correct answer to this is "Yes, I would hit a guy in glasses".

I hope that the girls and women break them.
