It is amazing.

Hmm... I wonder if this is Facebook's way of trying to get ahead of Google+?

But is it safe for deaf people ? Facebook is the world's number one abuser of deaf online re privacy. Already we are reading "Pornographers see an even wider market to exploit..." Until it is captioned, and subject to some form of censorship in real time, I can't see the point. The potential to visually abuse deaf needs some consideration.

DeafCaroline · 07-07-2011, 12:50 PM

i've gotten so many scam emails on facebook that were targeted towards the deaf and i've reported each and every single one to facebook. i hate scammers like them. they're evil.

**Smithtr** · 07-07-2011, 01:33 PM

it is interesting I am surprised!

Grummer · 07-07-2011, 01:41 PM

yes caught one who hijacked my mates profile just yesterfay we caught them early, it was pretty scary seeing it happeningfront in front of my eyes in like minutes but caught it in like the first 20 mins...

Grummer · 07-07-2011, 01:46 PM

the merging was to me, an act of utter irresponsibility, i hope Facebook Mark Zuckeberg gets sued for that, Im not worred about the stupid twins, the twins are worst, Mark did the most work for sure, but the merging is soooo dumb. I really hope they can actually unmangle the mess, like shut it down and revert back to straight facebook that we've came to enjoy, I enoy skype but NOT when its too tight with Facebook , that is just crossed over the proverbel line of safety

What reason would facebook get sued?
State your reason, please?

Grummer · 07-07-2011, 06:49 PM

for putting public at risk, come on think about it. it was a really stupid move, its like public nudism made legal in towns, not that everyone will do it, but its thrown in the open so to speak.
i dunno the specifics of 'what to sue for' im not a lawyer, are you?

Why do you think Skype on Facebook is unsafe? I could see it being annoying if people were trying to contact you, but you can block it.
