I don’t know what happened but we all (not just America) seem to be in a bit of trouble. It’s coming…likely sooner than later. I e commented on a few about simple right from wrong…this simple concept can fix a lot of the worlds problems. Like your parents taught you when you were kids.

“I can gather information from Facebook” -that’s backwards. Facebook gathers information from you

[@azulcrescent715]

I was born in Myanmar, and grew up there, and it saddens me to see the country portrayed like this, because IT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE. There's a whole lot of hatred and paranoia in the country, and it uses religion (Buddhism) as a way to persecute people of other religions and ethnicity. If you are of any religion than Buddhism, you're the "other" and are very likely not safe. Hell, they even think of the other sect of Buddhism, Mahayana, as a demonic religion, when there's very few differences between the two sects (Myanmar practices Theravada). This episode is completely accurate in portraying the prevalence of facebook in Myanmar. People may not have any idea how to use google, or enter a URL, but they can use facebook for pretty much everything. Facebook is basically substituted for tinder, yelp, twitter, pornhub and more in that country. And when facebook is the "internet" for the entire country, you better believe any "news" that goes viral is going to be common news for the people there. There's no fact checking, and people accept it as completely legit, and this is a very prevalent way in which hate is riled up there. It's absolutely appalling, and sadly, I don't see it changing anytime soon. The country has been put too backwards by the military dictatorship, and the education system in the country is outdated by 20~40 years depending on the subject. Thanks to LastWeekTonight for creating this episode. Even though I have no attachments to the country, it's nice to know that more people will now be more aware of the atrocities and problems in Myanmar.

[@MyTeenLifeLoLTV]

This happened 2 years ago in Indonesia: During the governational election of Jakarta, Indonesia, a surge of hate speech and xenophobia posts inflitrated to many of our facebook timeline. Promoting a toxic division between the natives and Chinese Indonesian. Later it was proven that the xenophobic posts were backed up by the opponent political party who were taking an advantage of facebook's flawed system. It was utterly toxic, that caused an actual riot between many ethnicities & religions. This is why facebook needs to fix this issue fast. Especially political parties who are using fake news as a tool to "win". It's almost the presidential election next year, i hope these fake news epidemic will be cured soon before then

The thing is, it happened in India too. I get that in social networking sites most stuff is user generated, but there definitely needs to be some regulations. People literally were publicly lynched to death because of whatsapp forwards! Atleast ad(promoted) content should be monitored. Whatsapp officials actually had a meeting with govt representatives for the same. Probably a local database or something will be made not totally sure. It's hard, sure, but can't brush it off. It's not their fault, ofcourse, but monitoring which does not violate privacy of good users is important.

Whereever there is a like-button, wherever the is a comments-sectino that uses FB, they track you through any means posbbile.

Got rid of it a long time ago. While I'm very introverted and enjoy my own company and pretty much never get lonely, Facebook actually made me feel that way.

So much disinformation and stupid opinions everywhere, then you realize it's not even worth trying to argue with Trump supporters...I cut them out of my life completely. I had my profile deactivated for a long time but I actually went and deleted it fully after Facebook was found to have done all those morally reprehensible things during the election...no going back.

None? I submit that you are willfully ignoring lesser options simply because your income WITH facebook is much higher than it would be without it. That is not a dilemma involving starvation, it's a dilemma involving less pay or greater pay. People make their own choices about what is important. Your personal pay may be more important to you than the potential negative impacts of that company. But that's a far cry from saying you have no choice, it's this or starving.

Facebook is one giant echochamber for Islamophobia, that is correct. However let's be honest, facebook is a giant echochamber for everything. Facebooks algorythms are designed to introduce people to people with similiar opinions. They are not designed to introduce people to a wide variety of opinions. And why is that? Because facebook is primarily a business. And if some random facebook user keeps getting notifications from people they vigirously disagree with they might decide to leave facebook.

[@risharehraje793]

It's quite simple. Islam adores pedophile. Spreads hae against jews and gays. Enforce religious laws. And so on. So standing agains such hateful ideology is quite common. Imagine that any other ideology would claim "Carl was having sex with 9 years olg girl. Carl is great and he is our example, let's all we live like Carl. Oh and kill gays and everyone, who will leave our religion." There are not even 2 countries in the world with majority of muslims, where humans rights would not be violated by law. Everywhere, where islam gained control, human rights perished. So are you still surprised that people speak against such ideology?

[@siddharthsingh7747]

The truth has been spoken

Islamophobia is only rational if you hate and fight harmful ideas of Islam, not all people who happened to be born in Muslim countries/families. Fight the ideology, do not hate all people who were unfortunate to be brainwashed into believing it

[@AscendantStoic]

It's not phobia if the threat is real, majority of bloody terror attacks worldwide are done by Islamist terror groups, you might want to recheck the definition of phobia again in the dictionary.

[@KingQwertzlbrmpf]

I fully agree that the term "Islamophobia" is used incorrectly in most instances. A phobia is an irrational fear. Calling criticism of Islam islamophobia is a category mistake. There undoubtedly are irrational fears about Islam out there, but there are equally undoubtable rational fears out there. And criticism is by definition not fear, therefore the category mistake. The main reason is used the term "Islamophobia" in my post was because that was the term John Oliver was using. Also the main point i was trying to make was not that facebook is an echochamber for what is called "Islamophobia", but that facebook is an echochamber for every other idea as well and in equal measures.

Just quit Facebook. It's been about 6 moths now and life has been so much better and happier. I'm moving towards quitting Snapchat and Instagram too.

Only thing I have is KZbin

Pretty sure Facebook owns both of those.

I've been off social media for years now (as someone who grew up with Myspace and Facebook and was on SC and IG when they first started blowing up). It really is a great feeling to be away from all that.

I can't imagine why being able to keep in regular touch with friends and family in other countries would not be seen as a good thing by anyone. Thanks to Facebook, for example, I now get to keep up with my mad, 70 year old travel addicted cousin who I have not seen since she moved to Australia years ago. Over the past few years, she has been to place as diverse as Uzbekistan and Antarctica, and her photo diaries are a real source of joy! On a more mundane level, I love the stuff my daughters and friends post in general. I don't get any news items on there that have not been put on there by friends, and as I do not make friends with idiots, I see little that is idiotic.

Fatgeologist the way you are using the app is meaningful and it seems to make you happy, unfortunately I used it to participate in baseless political arguments that didn’t lead anywhere. However, I’m starting to realize it’s probably my own fault for doing so!

*FACEBOOK IS A TOILET*

[@adrianc2274]

I'm on the Facebook.

Also clogged one.

[@lytuy7952]

Didn't you hear John? That's an insult to toilet.

That "monk" is not actually a Buddhist if he's speaking hate and encouraging violence. Those are the opposite of the tenets of Buddhism.

[@astraldirectrix]

Even _Buddhism_ has its extremists. No ideology is safe from the loonies!

I was playing a game on my phone, and at 12:25 when he says "it's a bad time to" an ad popped up for a war game saying "OPEN FIRE" 🤣
