Here's a quick list of common HN comments about Facebook announcements so that we can get them out of the way and actually discuss this product announcement:

1. I don't use Facebook.

2. It's been X years since I deleted my Facebook account.

3. Facebook is a threat to democracy/society/open web/news

4. Something something stealing/selling/sharing data.

5. Something something tracking users.

Reminds me of reading the comments on any article about Microsoft on Slashdot 20 years ago.

What a surprise that someone who works at Google would support another mass surveillance company. Some of us care about privacy, morals, and mental health more than big checks

>I don't use Facebook.

As should everyone

>Facebook is a threat to democracy/society/open web/news

It is

>Something something stealing/selling/sharing data.

Because that is their business model, being a googler you should be well aware

>Something something tracking users.

Again, because they are and it's something you're well aware of

Cool, now you can actually scream at people about your political and religious beliefs instead of just angrily typing

No thanks
