SOME EMPLOYERS AND
PSYCHOLOGISTS SAY STAYING AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA IS 'SUSPICIOUS'
ED Noor: Apparently Anders Behring Breivik and James Holmes not having a
Facebook footprint is a surefire indication that the person who does not pander
to the social networking society is potentially dangerous.

Personally I think believing this virtual non-news claptrap just makes you an idiot. The men of Hezbollah could care less about their personal networking sites!

Facebook has
become such a pervasive force in modern society that increasing numbers of
employers, and even some psychologists, believe people who aren't on social
networking sites are 'suspicious.'
The German
magazine Der Taggspiegel went so far as to point out that accused theater shooter James Holmes
and Norwegian mass murder Anders Behring Breivik have common ground in their
lack of Facebook profiles.
On a more
tangible level, Forbes.com reports
that human resources departments across the country are becoming more wary of
young job candidates who don't use the site.
Normal: Facebook has become so pervasive in this culture that not having a profile is considered 'abnormal'
The
common concern among bosses is that a lack of Facebook could mean the
applicant's account could be so full of red flags that it had to be deleted.
ED Noor: Join Facebook so you can get a job! Next new parents will begin social networking their infants to create the perfect on line personna for their little darling from day one. (Conception). This guarantees the prospective boss all he needs for locating the perfect slave employee. I see a whole new industry here! Site designers, writers, career advisors, analysts....

Advice
Columnist, Emily Yoffee, wrote in an advice column that young people shouldn't
date anyone who isn't on Facebook.
'If you’re of a certain age and you meet someone who you are about to go to bed with, and that person doesn’t have a Facebook page, you may be getting a false name. It could be some kind of red flag,' he says.
ED Noor: Right, so everything someone has on their Facebook page is
the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? I suppose the simple idea of having ethics enough to not sleep with someone never crosses the mind of these folks?
Yoffee
points out that these judgements don't apply to older people who were already
productive adults before social media became widespread.
The
tech news site Slashdot summed up Der Taggspiegel's story about social networking
as 'not having a Facebook account could be the first sign that you are a mass
murderer.'
Loner: James Holmes, the accused Colorado theater shooter, does not appear to have friends and did not have a Facebook page
It points
out that Holmes, who is accused of killing 12 people and an unborn child and
wounding 58 others at a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado, and Breivik, who
murdered 77 people with a car bomb and mass shooting, did not use
Facebook and had small online footprints.
Breivik used
MySpace and Holmes was reportedly on the hook-up site Adult Friend Finder.
Psychologist Christopher Moeller told the magazine that using Facebook has become a sign of having a healthy social network.
Psychologists
have noted that Holmes, along with several noted mass murderers, have lacked
any real friends.
And this is
what the argument boils down to: It's the suspicion that not being on Facebook,
which has become so normal among young adults, is a sign that you're abnormal
and dysfunctional, or even dangerous, ways.
ED Noor: What is this,
some sort of twisted marketing campaign for Facebook?
'Oh you have a MySpace page but not a Facebook page? Well, you're obviously a psychopathic mass murderer-in-waiting then!'
This 'science' is the kind of thing a psychopathic Big Brother system would come up with to obscure the very real issue of psychopaths amongst us.

that sounds like a hard sell to push everyone onto face book, so they can be spied on.
ReplyDeleteAnd a cajoling towards the transhumanism crap
What everyone should do is dump that piece of sh*t, spy platform and get out and socialize in the real world, you know human to human
Like the actual physical sentient beings we are
Woa, I said 'sh*t" my bad
LOL
At first it was: be careful what you post on FB, your potential employer might use it against you and not hire you.
ReplyDeleteNow, you're suspicious if you don't use FB.
My head is starting to spin.
Do the FB shares need a little boost for all those people who lost first time around?
The funniest part about this is Facebook has only been around for less than 10 years.So is it safe to assume that we were ALL PSYCHOTIC KILLERS WHO PREY ON WOMEN USING FALSE NAMES???????OMFG!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
