Any idea how many people are using fbook that do not have the same level of education that you have? and how much time is spent on the fbk by this group of people?
How many people are using the fbk that do not have the same familiarity with tech and apps? Same eye sight, finger dexterity?
Did you miss the recent stories about the thousands of people bilked out of thousands of dollars via sneaky game app purchases? Certainly some of that hurt some people's IRAs.
Funny you mention divorce. This is an anecdotal 1 data point out of millions.. but in the past year I watched a friend go through the struggles of considering separation and divorce for about 6 months. As I often rail against the use of fbk, she confided in me that the ad tech did indeed influence her on this decision.
For some time when she used the fbk system she saw ads saying she could sell her wedding ring for cash quick and easy.
This coming at a time of emotional distress, when searching for options for places to go, with the need of funding to do these things...
I'm glad you do not find yourself in a position to care to about these issues. I myself worry more about the influence of the less tech savvy, whether they can vote or not, have IRAs or marriages or not, these things affect people around us, and not always in a "lets connect the world to make it better and have a kumbaya party with fresh goat and laser beams" kind of ways.
