Does what happens in the Facebook stay in the Facebook?

Ive been on facebook under an alias for a long time but im sure thats only giving my a tiny bit more privacy, But somehow i have naturally become disinterested with it and rarely use it. The only reason i still have my account is to help distribute this video amongst Facebook users.
ahhh good old adbusters to remind us of something that should be self evident a-la post from j.carson above. i resisted establishing a facebook account until earlier this year in spite of what seemed like the rest of the world being on it for lots of similar reasons but now find myself in the thick of it with everyone. call it a guilty pleasure. seems a little funny that underneath the video above even adbusters has the 'share' link so you can send this video to your friends- via facebook!
fb and this kind of stuff pull you in because its easy mindless culture. its a similar motivation to the fast food drive through...easy...mindless...consumption. did anyone really suspect otherwise??!!!
video didn't work on navigator and safari..
I left facebook yesterday! Not for the reasons stated in this video, but for the scary observation that its turning the otherwise critically thinking adults of my generation into a bunch of 12-year-old girls.
"Look at me!", "Look at what I did!". Who gives a fuck what you're consuming? What 'apps' you added? What banal thinks pop into your head for you to post to your circle of friends?
This video just validates my decision.
No shit! Hello people, think some philanthropist invented this so you could have a better life? Nobody with this kind of power gives a shit about you really, but rather what they can either get from you or prevent you from doing. DISMANTLE your facebook and get out in the real world before it disappears! Our ancestors socialized somehow, and apparently it worked all right. Thanks
How do I know what you're telling me is true. You are asking me to be sceptical about Facebook, but why should I trust you? What are your sources? What makes you more reliable then any other thing I find on the internet?
It's sometimes extremely hard to understand the narration (I'm not a native English speaker, maybe that's why). Can I read this somewhere?
I'm glad my I deactivated my facebook page. Now it will never be activated again.
oh totally not.
anyone could sign into facebook and look at your page. although they have safety precautions there are still ways you can get in...there always is
