You’ve most likely seen this: If you don’t believe in XXX, unfriend me now. Remove ‘don’t’ and a similar scenario unfolds. You can fill in XXX with anything: Church activities; stopping Trump; stopping Clinton; racism; gun rights, abortion, etc. The daily banter can be stifling, as can an inability to manage opinions other than your own.

Part of this is understandable. We all have strong beliefs regarding any number of issues. Often one or two such issues assume the top position(s) in our mental catalog of things to care about. Some can be as benign as someone typing in improper grammar on social media, for example. Others are quite relevant and potentially dangerous, such as the reverberating effects of racism or rape or abortion rights.

Content is almost irrelevant here, however. What we’re discussing is the attitude of someone who says: If you don’t agree with me, I don’t ever want to see or hear from you again! This ideology has been well documented on college campuses in recent years. Yet this mindset is not restricted to universities. The attitude is apparent everywhere.

The larger your social network, the weaker its ties. Intimate connections are usually counted on one, perhaps two, hands. My five thousand Facebook friends and thousands of other connections from pages I manage? I wouldn’t recognize them if I walked right into them. But—and this is important—if they mention we’re connected on social media, an emotional link has been made. There is some reference point, no matter how hazy, that immediately pushes through a barrier of uncertainty. At the very least, a conversation has begun.

Most discussion regarding unfriending is why you should do it. In this rather juvenile take, you’re told to dump political ranters, negative people, attention seekers, and, my favorite, “anyone who makes you feel really crappy about yourself.” This is exactly how many people react to foreign ideas already. If the potential of a mirror is held up that makes me question something about myself, get a rock ready. Throw. Just don’t look.

What is being lost in this age of unfriending is debate. What might seem commonsensical to you might not be so to others. Or, they just might have a different opinion. I would expect no belief of mine to be shared by seven billion others on this planet, nor even among my 150 closest friends. Honest dialogue and discussion only makes us stronger.

That’s impossible when you’re clicking the unfriend button at the first sign of distress. As I wrote earlier this week regarding education, our brains are nearly fully formed by age six; it takes another twenty years for it to become fully myelinated—the fatty insulation that connects every neural region like a superhighway. What this means is our emotional, reptilian brain is not chatting regularly with our prefrontal cortex, the seat of reason and one region implicated in Dunbar’s theory of social relationships. Little is nuanced; we lash out at what frustrates us. Worse, we hide from it.

Ideally, education is a lifelong pursuit. This means coming to terms with views that challenge your own. By engaging with others of differing opinions, you might find your viewpoint strengthened. You might feel neutral. You might even change your mind, which has the potential to reshape the course of your life.

None of this happens when the unfriend syndrome ravages your thoughts. Perhaps some brains are too myelinated—the insulation is not allowing any air to pass through. That’s a shame. Debate is an essential component of community building. When it’s lost, well, so is so much more.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduces Whatsapp Video Calls
Facebook has announced the introduction of video calling feature on their instant messaging app WHATSAPP.  READ MORE Learn more »

Hackers working for the forces of both good and evil have developed a pretty terrifying ability to sneak into our computers, phones, tablets and other devices. However, while cyber-geniuses may have the electronic weaponry needed to send firewalls crashing down, there’s one very rudimentary anti-spyware appliance that they still can’t overcome: a piece of tape.

This was highlighted recently by the surprising admission by United States FBI Director James Comey that he tapes over the webcam of his personal laptop in order to stop hackers from peeking at him when he’s at home. His comments have sparked a debate over whether or not this type of secrecy is necessary or indeed appropriate.

Yes folks, Zuckerberg tapes over his webcam. The billionaire made the (accidental?) revelation in a Facebook post intended to promote Instagram reaching its latest milestone of half a billion monthly active users.

While Zuckerberg probably does have any number of advanced persistent threats trying to break his digital security, normal people shouldn’t be too complacent either. Installing backdoors on compromised computers is a common way for some hackers to occupy their time.

So should you copy Zuckerberg? Probably. It doesn’t hurt, most of the experts do it, and it could minimise damage – even if it’s just emotional – in the case of a catastrophic hack.

Recently, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on his own Facebook page once more to clarify that curing diseases is among the goals he intends to accomplish with his personal fortune of $45 billion. "Our country spends 50 times more money on treating people that are sick than we spend trying to cure the disease so people don't get sick in the first place," Zuckerberg said in a video accompanying a text post on Facebook. "We have a real shot of curing all of the diseases or at least most of them in the next 100 [years] if we do the right things."

Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan pledged their personal fortunes earlier this week to a new limited liability corporation called the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. At the time, he said it was for "advancing human potential" and "promoting equality." That ambiguity has led to accusations that Zuckerberg may be dodging taxes or that his philanthropy ambitions may be restricted to furthering the Silicon Valley worldview, in contrast with the work of Bill and Melinda Gates’ nonprofit foundation. Zuckerberg explained in a follow-up post on Facebook why he chose to structure the initiative as a LLC, claiming it gives him and Chan flexibility on directing the flow of funding.

"IF WE INVEST MORE IN SCIENCE, WE CAN MAKE FASTER PROGRESS TOWARDS CURING DISEASE."

In his latest post, Zuckerberg has also identified development of clean energy, addressing "systematic issues around poverty and justice," and improving and modernizing schools as other potential focal points for his investments. He's already started on the first, having launched the Breakthrough Energy Coalition in partnership with Bill Gates to spur private sector investment. But Zuckerberg has a more mixed history with education. He gave $100 million to the Newark public school system in 2010 only to see much of it wasted on bureaucracy and mismanagement.

A study by the University of Michigan looked at how college students used their smartphones and found that, the most "rewarding" communication happened through Snapchat.

"On the surface, many people view Snapchat as the 'sexting app,'" Joseph Bayer, the study's lead author said in a statement. "But instead, we found that Snapchat is typically being used to communicate spontaneously with close friends in a new and often more enjoyable way."

According to Tech Insider, the study was the first of its kind, asking questions like, "How pleasant or unpleasant was your most recent interaction?" and "How close are you to that person?"

Communications on Snapchat were "associated with more positive emotions than Facebook and other social technologies," according to the study. Snapchat is better than Facebook, at least to the study participants, because it is "self-presentational." This means that its ephemeral nature—AKA the idea that the snaps are only viewable for a small amount of time—is key to allowing users to prevent smaller, more personal moments to everyone else.

We had a feeling that Facebook was depressing, but now it's a fact. Thanks, science :)

IN HIS WORDS: 

"Today we’re launching TechPrep -- a website to help people start programming careers. 

It shows parents and students what programming is, why it’s important, and what sort of jobs are available for those who can code. It guides people to resources to get started -- everything from classes to college prep. And it features real stories from people from under-represented groups who’ve used the resources to start careers in tech. 

Improving diversity in the tech industry is an important challenge, and something we’re deeply committed to at Facebook. Everyone should be able to take advantage of the opportunities created by the internet. Giving everyone the opportunity to learn to code will create even more valuable tools to serve society. 

Through research with McKinsey, we found that there are very few resources in particular for Black or Hispanic learners, and we wanted to change this. We’ve also put together resources for parents and guardians so they can provide young people with advice and support. 

We hope this is a valuable resource for people in our community, and that it helps makes a small contribution towards making our industry more diverse."

According to recently released study, Most of your Facebook friends don’t care about you and probably wouldn’t even sympathise with your problems.

Many people have hundreds, if not thousands of Facebook friends. But people can only really depend on four of them, on average, according to new research.

Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at Oxford University, undertook a study to find out the connection between whether people have lots of Facebook friends and real friends.

He found that there was very little correlation between having friends on social networks and actually being able to depend on them, or even talking to them regularly.

The average person studied had around 150 Facebook friends. But only about 14 of them would express sympathy in the event of anything going wrong.

The average person said that only about 27 per cent of their Facebook friends were genuine.

Those numbers are mostly similar to how friendships work in real life, the research said. But the huge number of supposed friends on a friend list means that people can be tricked into thinking that they might have more close friends.

"There is a cognitive constraint on the size of social networks that even the communication advantages of online media are unable to overcome," Professor Dunbar wrote wrote. "In practical terms, it may reflect the fact that real (as opposed to casual) relationships require at least occasional face-to-face interaction to maintain them."

Facebook friends tend to organise in different layers, the research claims. About five people will be in the first and closest one, then 15, 50 and 150 different friends will be in each of the groups as they move further out.

Facebook users will soon be able to show themselves off in a very exciting way. Facebook is preparing to allow users to place a video on their profile as well as the traditional picture.

The new functionality is set to be introduced as part of a raft of new tools designed to allow people to personalise their profile in new and (hopefully) exciting ways.

"The world has changed since we first introduced profiles in 2004," wrote Aigerim Shorman and Tony Hsieh, product managers at the social network.

"On News Feed and profiles, we’re seeing people create and view more videos than ever before.

"Today we’re starting to test the next step in an obvious evolution of profiles: profile videos.

"Soon, you’ll be able to film a short, looping video clip that will play for anyone who visits your profile.

"Profile videos will let show a part of yourself you couldn’t before, and add a new dimension to your profile."

The social network is planning a number of other changes which should allow profiles to become even more personal.

Leading on from the success of the Celebrate Pride filter, which overlaid profile pics with the famous rainbow flag, Facebook will allow images to be overlaid on a certain date.

This means football fans could emblazon their photo with their team's colours on match day, or Labour supporters could swap their head with Jeremy Corbyn's during conference speeches and the like.

"Profile pictures are not just static portraits," Facebook continued.

"They represent what’s going in your life right now and what’s important to you, and we want to give people the tools to better express themselves in this way."

Anyone viewing profiles on a mobile device will soon see their friends' photos appear at the centre of the screen and Facebook has "made them bigger to give you more real estate to show off what you can do with our new creative tools".

The new tools are being offered to selected users in the UK and America ahead of a wider roll out later this year.

UPDATE1: This Facebook feature is NOT YET AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE. It is being rolled out selectively so just relax, your turn will come.

All 109 Nigerian senators and their aides are currently undergoing training on how to use Facebook and other social media. The training is to help them communicate effectively on issues of public policy and good governance.

In a statement, Senator Isa Galaudu , chief of staff to Senate President Bukola Saraki, said the training is in line with Saraki’s promise to bring about a more representative legislature through use of technology and tools for an electronic parliament.

The training has been fixed for November ending, and is to be conducted by Facebook Africa’s head of policy.

The Facebook team arrived Nigeria earlier this week and subsequently the social media exercise has commenced in earnest.

We wish them the best as the engage in the new frontiers of social interaction.

Facebook has launched another standalone app into the world, this time to let you keep track of what’s going on in the world. Called Notify, it’s the control center for the news you want to receive, all from your mobile device’s lock screen. The app is available for iOS and can be downloaded from the Apple store.

“Everyone has different interests, so whether you’re into sports, celebrities, news, movies, music, or shopping, Notify makes it easy to find notifications you’re into with a broad selection of great ‘stations’ across a variety of categories,” product manager Julian Gutman wrote in a blog post. “Notifications are becoming one of the primary ways people first learn about things, wherever they are.”

You can create your own “mix” of notifications from across business, celebrity and gossip, culture, entertainment, fashion, food and drink, gaming, sports, and more. Facebook said that there’s also personalized tuning, meaning you can subscribe to the Game Summaries station from the Bleacher Report, and then choose to follow the Golden State Warriors within that station. Also, the mix will be fine-tuned based on what you’ve Liked or denoted you’re Interested in on Facebook. This is probably going to be good news for people who don’t want to be inundated by notifications about teams or specific things they just don’t care about.

Once you get a notification, you can ignore it, or just swipe or tap on it to open the link in the app’s browser, where you can read the full article, view the video, or peruse the rest of the site.

At launch, Notify will have news from at least 70 different media partners, including A&E, ABC, Billboard, Bloomberg Business, CBS Sports, CNN, Comedy Central, Cosmopolitan, Curbed, Discovery, E!, Elle, Getty Images, The Hollywood Reporter, Techmeme, Quartz, Sports Illustrated, The Washington Post, The Weather Channel, Groupon, GQ, and Harper’s Bazaar.

Facebook chief executive and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg recently hosted a Townhall Q&A at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Delhi, India. During the town hall event, Zuckerberg was asked questions about why the company has so much interest in India, how the unconnected population can get on the Internet, how Oculus Rift will be integrated into the social network and what is his opinion of net neutrality. However, one of the questions that received the most applause was about how to get rid of Candy Crush invitations.

Candy Crush Invitations

The moderator of the townhall told Zuckerberg “So this is a question which lots and lots of people want answers to. It’s one of the top voted questions on the thread. And I think it’s a serious one, deserving a serious answer. And that is ‘I seriously don’t want to get any more invitations on Candy Crush, how do I stop getting it?’” Zuckerberg said that questions like these are what makes the town hall Q&As very useful.


“I saw this question and that it was the top voted question on my thread so I sent a message to the person who runs the team in charge of our developer platform and I said that by the time I do this town hall Q&A, I think it would be good if we had a solution to this problem. So we do!” said Zuckerberg at the Townhall Q&A. “So she e-mailed me later that night and was like ‘alright look, there are some tools that are kind of outdated that allow people to send invitations to people who have never used a game and have gotten a lot of invitations in the past, but don’t play games on Facebook. And we hadn’t prioritized shutting that down because we just had other priorities. But if this is the top thing that people care about, then we’ll prioritize that and we’ll do it.’ So we’re doing it!”

Vision Behind Oculus Rift

Last year, Facebook acquired virtual reality headset company Oculus Rift for $2 billion. How does Oculus Rift fit into the whole vision? At the town hall, Zuckerberg said that one of the trends that Facebook saw is that users are finding richer mediums to share. Now the primary way to share an experience online is video, but Zuckerberg believes that video is not the end of the line because it is still 2D and people want an “even richer medium. You want to feel like you’re there. And that is what virtual reality and augmented reality can do.”

Zuckerberg cheerfully talked about how he and his wife are expecting a daughter and would like his parents to be “there” for the baby’s first steps.

Facebook announced a host of changes to its Notes feature Last weekend. Notes originally appeared on the site as a means for users to write extended entries though it never really caught on with the user base.

However, the recent update transforms Notes into a tiny CMS within the Facebook ecosystem. Changes include the ability to add cover art, caption images, resize inline photos and format text.

You can see the difference between the two iterations in the image above. Instead of the standard wall of plaintext that longform Facebook posts have traditionally eschewed, the additional formatting makes the entries much easier to read and digest. And though the editing feature is exclusively web-based, the new Notes do appear on mobile as well.

MORE than 80% of the 120 million Africans using Facebook access the site through their mobile phones, the social media group said Thursday.

“Mobile is not a trend; it’s the fastest adoption of disruptive technology in the history of communication,” said Facebook’s head of Africa Nunu Ntshingila.

Africa has experienced an explosion of mobile phone penetration in recent years which the International Communications Union estimates to be around 63%.

For many Africans faced with poor or non-existent landline infrastructure, mobile phones have also offered a route to the Internet without laptops or desktop computers.

More than a quarter of Africa’s total Facebook users are found in three countries—Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya, according to statistics released Thursday 11th September.

Nigeria has 15 million users, South Africa 12 million and Kenya 4.5 million. Notably, Facebook said 100% of its monthly users in Nigeria and South Africa are on mobile phones. In Kenya, 95% are on mobile.

Daily users in Kenya are 2.2 million, 7.1 million in Nigeria and 12 million in South Africa.

Facebook, which opened its first African office in Johannesburg earlier this year, saw its user population on the continent swell to 120 million in June from 100 million in September 2014.

Two-thirds of all Internet users in Africa are active on Facebook, it said.

During a live question-and-answer session at Facebook headquarters on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg revealed the company has been working on a “dislike” button.

Zuckerberg acknowledged people have been asking for such a feature for several years, but Tuesday 15th September marked the first time the company said a “dislike” button was in development.

“People have asked about the ‘dislike’ button for many years … and probably hundreds of people have asked about this. Today is a special day because today is the day that I actually get to say we are working on it, and are very close to shipping a test of it,” Zuckerberg said Tuesday during the Q & A in Menlo Park.

Zuckerberg was also clear that the button won’t be designed to express negative thoughts, but rather “expressing empathy.” The “dislike” button will not be for upvoting or downvoting comments and posts.

“What they really want is the ability to express empathy. Not every moment is a good moment,” Zuckerberg said.

Zuckerberg said the feature could launch “soon.” Learn more »

You may not yet have stumbled across the Activity Log page in your wanderings around Facebook, but it’s worth exploring. It provides a blow-by-blow account of everything you do on the social network, and you can use it to take back likes or comments, find your favorite posts again, change your privacy settings and more.

To find the Activity Log, click on the drop-down menu on the far righthand side of the toolbar at the top of the interface. You can also get to it by adding “/allactivity” to the end of your Facebook URL (don’t worry, no one else can get to it). Your most recent activity is shown first.

You get everything here: likes, event responses, comments, posts, photo tags and all the other comings and goings. Hover over the privacy icon on the right (typically two silhouette portrait shapes) to check who can view the content in question—if it’s one of your own posts, you have the option to change the visibility of it.

Click on the pencil icon to the right of each activity entry to take it back and erase it from the Facebook universe. It’s possible to delete posts and comments, unlike posts from other people, hide certain updates from your profile (like the acceptance of an event invite) and more besides.

Direct link to Facebook Activity page https://www.facebook.com/username/allactivity [NOTE: remember to change 'username' to your facebook username, then copy and paste into browser] Also you must logged into Facebook.

Facebook knows you very well. It collects and stores all the information about what you 'like', comment on and post every day.

It then uses that information to build up a profile of you that is uses to target you with adverts and content it presumes you will like.

Fortunately, researchers at the University of Cambridge have a developed a free new online tool that will comb through your Facebook profile and replicate what the social media giant thinks of you.

It's called 'Apply Magic Sauce', and it starts with your gender, intelligence, political standing, sexual preference and life satisfaction.

It then moves on to the so-called "Big 5" personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.

Using your Facebook likes and comparing them to other people on the massive social network, it will give you an unvarnished look at your own personality.

"One of the challenges with our modern online lives is that data is being collected about us and predictions are made, but we never get to see what Facebook is doing behind the scenes," Dr David Stillwell, the researcher behind the test, told MailOnline .

"We wanted to show people, given this fairly innocuous data, this is the prediction Facebook can make about them," he said.

Once you log in via Facebook, the tool will show you your results almost instantly. The website says it will only collect your profile's likes - and it won't store any of the information once complete.

Apply Magic Sauce is a clear indicator of the amount of data that can be harvested from a social media profile.

"Social media mishaps have become commonplace and can end up costing someone much more than just their jobs," said Kassem Younis, founder and CEO of Thoughts Around Me, an app for people to anonymously share their thoughts.

"Users are becoming much more careful with what they post, which in turn is actually harming their ability to speak honestly and openly," he said.

"In a world where there is so much for all of us to process that we judge on perception, having what you really think attached to your identity can really harm your own brand because of the missing context."

The cool kids at Facebook Inc. are telling e-laughers everywhere that “haha” and emoji are in, and “lol” is out.

Facebook last week released a report analyzing how its users convey laughter. The way they expressed humor changed based on gender, age and geography. No joke: “lol” users are older than “haha” and “hehe” people. If you want to telegraph your youthful giggles, use an emoji.

“Haha” was the most popular choice, with more than half of all laughs, while emojis accounted for a third. It seems “lol” -- the popular acronym for laugh out loud -- is no longer hip. Only 1.9 percent of users are “lol”-ing, meaning the expression could soon be going the way of once popular phrases such as “rotfl” (rolling on the floor laughing) and “lmao” (laughing my a** off).

“Haha” users appear to have more fun. They repeat the two-letter syllable more often than the others, such as “hahaha” and “hahahaha.” One sample Facebook detected had over 600 letters.

Men are more likely to “hehe” while women are more likely to “haha” or share an emoji, according to the data.

Facebook ending of July 2015 revealed more details about its plan to find cost-effective ways to provide Internet access to the 10% of the Earth's population that lives far from cell towers or land lines.

The solution: Drones the size of a Boeing 737 — launched by helium balloons.

Powered by the sun, each 1,000 lb. drone would fly lazy circles more than 11 miles above the Earth, providing broadband-level Internet for people in a 50-mile radius below.

The team's dream is "a backbone of the Internet using lasers in the sky," said Yael Maguire, director of Facebook's Connectivity Lab.

The planes, dubbed Aquila, (Latin for "eagle") would be unmanned. Each would spend three months aloft before slowly floating down to earth "like a feather" for refit, said Jay Parikh, vice president of engineering at Facebook.

The effort is part of a project launched a year ago by Facebook's Connectivity Lab to provide Internet access to the 4 billion people around the world who currently lack it.

While many people live in sufficiently connected or urban areas where current methods, such as wires and cellular phones, can provide Internet access, millions of people live where a connection isn't possible.

"Standard telecommunication infrastructure doesn't reach them. If they pulled out a phone, it would have nothing to connect to," said Parikh.

Facebook has set out to find a way to give it to them.

The answer the company's engineers have come up with involves sending planes that can beam down access far above commercial airspace, where there are no commercial flights to run into and no weather to interfere with flight.

Frequent social media use could have a negative impact on young people’s mental health, according to a new study.

For many teens, going even an hour without checking Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter is a struggle. Twenty-four percent/24% of teenagers go online “almost constantly,” according to a recent Pew Research Center study.

But more alarming than the time spent are the negative consequences that young people may suffer from due to too much screen-time.

The study, from Ottawa Public Health, suggests that teens who use social media sites for two hours or more daily are at risk for poor mental health, psychological distress and depression, as reported by Huffington Post.

“It could be that teens with mental health problems are seeking out interactions as they are feeling isolated and alone,” Dr. Hugues Sampasa-Kayinga, the study’s lead author, told The Huffington Post in an email. “Or they would like to satisfy unmet needs for face-to-face mental health support.”

Dr. Sampasa-Kayinga notes that the link between social media and mental health issues is complicated, and that simple use of sites like Facebook and Twitter “cannot fully explain by itself the occurrence of mental health problems.”

Researchers are now investigating how this issue might be fixed, and in some cases turning the problem into the solution.

“We see social networking sites, which may be a problem for some, also being a solution,” Dr. Brenda K. Wiederhold of the Interactive Media Institute in San Diego said, as reported by Huffington Post. “Since teens are on the sites, it is the perfect place for public health and service providers to reach out and connect with this vulnerable population and provide health promotion systems and supports.”

Experts also suggest parents pay attention to how much time teens are spending on these sites and its possible link to mental health issues.

The research was published online on July 13 in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking. Learn more »

Forget the vacations and private getaways — for Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, happiness is all about helping others alongside the people he loves.

During a Q&A on Facebook last month, Zuckerberg answered a ton of questions and wrote a great deal about how people play a huge role in his life and work:

"To me, happiness is doing something meaningful that helps people and that I believe in with people I love."

"I think lots of people confuse happiness with fun. I don't believe it is possible to have fun every day. But I do believe it is possible to do something meaningful that helps people every day."

"As I've grown up, I've gained more appreciation for my close relationships — my wife, my partners at work, my close friends. Nobody builds something by themselves. Long term relationships are very important."

Considering Zuckerberg was a psychology major before he dropped out of Harvard, his marriage to college sweetheart Priscilla Chan, and his history of forgoing fancy cars, clothes, and a salary, his answer isn't all too surprising.

But it's a refreshing change of pace to hear such a down-to-earth response from a man running one of the most successful tech companies in the world and who has a personal net worth estimated at $35 billion, according to Wealth-X.
