    Absolutely. Please, please move on, folks.

    it’s great to tell users to disable Flash, but what’s up with the many big web and news sites that still aren’t moving away from it?

    Folks, learn how to disable Flash and do it. It's easy. Flash can lead to losing all your data through ransomware.

    Facebook's community policing targets people who open themselves to the world (and thus get reported) but heavy arms dealers fare just fine.

    It's not just youth. I see much more sharing in Groups than I do on newsfeed - bc sharer KNOWS who it's going to.

    I—and others—have been pointing out for years how reluctant youth were to use Facebook because of PRIVACY CONCERNS.

    The myth has been youth don't care about privacy. I—and others—published research debunking this. They want to share. UNDER THEIR OWN TERMS.
