its the same at my buddy's work, all employees are all on facebook and are watching what others say,

if someone says something they dont like, they report it to the supervisors, and the supervisors threatens them not to say things or they will get fired

I use Facebook to post pictures of my pets and the wildlife I see in my yard. I steer clear of controversial topics.

I never did Facebook. Told everyone when it came out that stuff they posted on it would come back to haunt them decades later. I have no regrets about this decision.

80's and 90's: Don't put your real identity out on the internet / usenet / gopher, etc - you never know what some crazy person is gonna do with that info.

2000's: Post the color of your most recent poop and your most controversial political opinions out there for everyone under your own name. What could possibly go wrong?

Today: Predictable consequences of the retardation of the earlier decades. (eg. addition of normies to the internet)
