New government warning - don’t breathe, it’s bad for your health
Which of the following statements is true:1) Facebook gives you cancer (Daily Mail)
2) Eggs give you salmonella (Edwina Currie)
3) The Royal Mail gives you cancer (amusing blogger)
4) Everything is bad for us nowadays...*
I've only ever had 'eggy soldiers' once because my mother stopped feeding me them after Edwina and I never wanted them again. The same will not be happening with facebook. We now have a Debatewise fan page, group, and even a profile for a Mr. Debate Wise!
There are two problems which people generally have with fb - 1 that it's a waste of time, and 2 that we give them too much personal information. The second one has been the topic of controversy recently as fb people changed the Terms of Service, seemingly to imply that they had legal rights over any content we posted, *forever*. Personally, unless it got to the stage where the priest asked if there's any reason why I couldn't marry Prince William, and Mark Zuckerburg stood up brandishing fb photos, I don't really mind. But a good few thousand did and they have since withdrawn the TOS until further notice.
It's probably just a big publicity stunt. In fact, the Daily Mail article could have been a warped PR exercise. Judging from the fact that at least four fb groups have sprung up about how it will give us cancer I don't think anyone is taking a blind bit of notice!
