I've been at both companies. I highly doubt HN is filled with Google employees bashing Facebook.

Then, who are those people?

In my case, someone who thinks that it dumbs-down the population, leaving them in an echo chamber of made-up bullshit, lifestyle signalling and narcissism.

My position does ignore the positive aspects of Facebook like finding old acquaintances, coordinating social events etc, but then even cannibalism has its bright sides.

Don't live the life of others, is not your problem.

You're wrong on both counts. Having an opinion regarding a social media platform, particularly one that can affect the fabric of society, is totally reasonable on a discussion forum hosted on Y Combinator.

It's no more living the life of others than having an opinion on war, politics or famine.

Are you suggesting that only Google employees can hate and distrust Facebook?

It is weird that Facebook always get bashed for privacy and Google (who is even worse in that aspect) always get a free pass, just saying.

Google gets bashed for privacy in every single thread that has a word "ad" in it, and then in every single Google thread.

"Google (who is even worse in that aspect)"

Proof?

Are you a Google advocate?

Are you a Facebook shill? See, the paranoia cuts both ways.
