FaceBook - (faysc book) aka FB - A popular electronic medium website where participants can convince themselves that having many thousands of 'friends' (see "people they've never actually met" ) can allow them to comment on anything they think they know about.. or should know best about... or really know nothing about but just wanted to say 'kewl' or 'lol' to. Also used to repost pictures from anywhere on the internet about anything they know nothing about. =note however many pictures of cats and food are also to be found= ...
Users convince themselves that having the many thousands of friends does in fact mean that they themselves are more popular and socially powerful than is the case in the real world 'simulation' aka LIFE .. FB executives are delerious with joy/greed over the high popularity of their website/social media experience because it means they can charge thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars for advertising space from third party companies wishing to promote their products. And also because of the popularity of FB can sell shares in this 'imaginary' electronic product/social experience. (Whether users actually pay any attention to the advertising remains untested... the users clicked away the ads to check on what 'steve the polish skateboarder did to the old guy at the railway station' ) ...
Users often complain of having no privacy after posting their photos/comments and setting the 'security levels' to private/friends only .. seemingly oblivious to the concept of "if its on the web its EVERYWHERE!!" .. FB executives further promote this beleif system by stating they do not give out personal information .. while collecting personal information at every point and 'storing' it for the own unknown future purposes.
Aged users can often be found on FB recently ... with no clear idea of what to post where or to who .. which can result in random users halfway around the planet suddenly receiving information on 'how my bladder leakage got worse after eating pie that tasted funny at the church fete' ... which may result in mental scarring for many years... whether this situation may finally result in PTSD is yet to be determined.
USE WITH CAUTION - any person you havent met or plan to meet in real life (IRL) may in fact be using FB to try and gain their own set of information from you... and what looks like a cute girl/guy in a swimsuit laughing at the beach that wants to share their trivia of life information with you .. may in fact be ; A Russian Mobster, A African Conman wanting to shift millions of 'free dollars' to your account, A government official from anywhere (but likely CIA/FBI) that wants to check why you lol'd at the pic of the terrorist pretending to be a normal person on a bus, or lastly some sweaty weirdo living in a basement that will soon commence stalking you because 'your life is so perfect.. I WANT IT'.
