More and more news sites have begun moving to only allowing Facebook users to comment on their articles.  And somehow they try to spin the precipitous drop in any discussion or dialogue after doing so as a good thing.  Yet, after reading stuff like this, I’m amazed that ANYONE is still foolish enough to commit their entire online soul to Mark Zuckerberg’s algorithms that will be used for any purpose that he decides to use them for – and is paid enough to do so.  (Don’t ever forget his moment of honesty some years back: “They trust me — dumb fucks,”)
