Facebook Flock Migrates Away

More than 640,000 users left Facebook last year, in the Netherlands: the first time a clear drop in Facebook's userbase has been registered.

While previously it were mainly youngsters who were quitting Facebook, the drop is now common across all age cohorts. The main reason seems to be the Cambridge Analytica scandal and all the hubbub following it: loss of confidence is most often cited as the main reason to leave.

Facebook haters should not rejoice too early though: the Netherlands still has a userbase of 10.1 million; most of those who left Facebook simply migrated to WhatsApp and/or Instagram, which are owned by Facebook.

    You. Are. Being. Trolled. Assign him a Foe and knock him down to -1 by default already.

    Of course this is not the real DT. He is an SN member, who has decided to troll all of us by assuming the DT personna. This has been discussed before, of course. But, he is a pretty good troll, don't you admit? He brings up some interesting stuff, and often adds something to a conversation. Well . . . maybe not "often", but he does so sometimes. Like, above. I've already conceded that he made a point here.

    Assign him a Foe? Whatever for? If I can't see what an enemy is posting, then I remain ignorant of what that enemy is thinking, amirite? And, Donny boy isn't even a real enemy. He's just a half-cocked nutjob troll.

      Why do you keep feeding him then? My standard response to him shitting up my journals is "Shut the fuck up, Donny, you're out of your element" without a single extra thought given to it.
