Meta's decision to block news links in Canada this month has had almost no impact on Canadians' usage of Facebook, data from independent tracking firms indicated on Tuesday, as the company faces scorching criticism from the Canadian government over the move.

          It does. Baby boomers are not that bright when it comes to technology. Yea they might say the boomers invented the internet and I say ,sure may be a handful of them but others are dumb af. If anyone questions it, come to my work and watch all these boomers struggling to turn on their computer.

            The usage described by small44 is an excellent way to use social media. Real life hobbies and interests bring personal fulfillment, and using social media as a tool for exploring those interests is smart, not dumb.

            Come over to my workspace. See how long it takes you to go “WTAF!?” over the tech I work with.

        No, i just like to use what is useful to me. I also don’t like content restriction, facebook is the least restrictive with the type of media you can post
