  • I have mixed feelings. Setting aside that Meta is a trash company, I wish no one used it, but unfortunately, it has replaced Craigslist in the US.

    I see A LOT of fake accounts on facebook. I’ve seen people I know get all their photos stolen and used to scam men online. I’ve seen random clones of other accounts for people I know slinging crypto scams.

    Facebook needs to do something about that. There are too many media illiterate people on Facebook to do nothing.

    That said, I’d rather this not be the way they handled it.



  • My understanding is that it was a more or less some kids that hung out at the same stores in a mall.

    Edit: I looked it up. They hung out in Vivian’s Westwoods clothing store, Sex. Westwood and another fashion guy from those stores managed and styled them. Sounds like Westwood might have even fed them lines that became lyrics. They barely knew how to play their instruments for a solid chunk of that time.

    Sounds like a boy band to me.
