Re “What Facebook needs most: competition” (Nov. 16): If people pump a whole bunch of personal information into Facebook or any other internet site and expect complete privacy, they’re fools.

Facebook should be about advertising to make money and serious/fun communications, not serious private communications where the user assumes the risk.

What I fear most about Facebook and sites like Google is their involvement in politics and censorship of those companies, people, etc. that they may disagree with. Censorship of violence, hate, threats, etc. are, of course, OK.

Competition’s not necessary because that would be just more junk to sift through. Can you imagine what it would be like as they work at outdoing each other?

I read about Facebook saying it’s better at removing hate speech and bullying. I couldn’t help thinking about Maxine Waters and her hate speech to bully her perceived opponents.


I guess it’s industry policing itself and government officials promoting hate and bullying. What’s a better recipe for disaster than that? Maybe government officials should only communicate through Facebook.
