Zuckerberg Leaves Racial Justice Leader Frustrated After Call

Re:Zuckerberg Leaves Racial Justice Leader Frustrated After ... by spamizbad on Tuesday June 02, 2020 @11:42AM (#23392231)

One new problem I see on Facebook these days are lots of images shared of false claims of people coming to attack/riot in neighborhoods... like really poorly doctored snapchat screenshots that wouldn't fool anyone under 40 but get proliferated everywhere by boomers.

There's now a massive line outside my local Home Depot with people standing in 90 degree heat trying to return plywood and OSB for looting and imaginary "ANTIFA caravan riots" that never came. Absolutely corrosive stuff to social order in its own right.

So if you’re born in 1980 or earlier you’re a boomer? Oh my. Ageism shines through.

I'm not interested in getting into a PC slap-fight: Old people are more likely to spread disinformation online and there's studies that prove it. Facts don't care about your feelings: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/1/eaau4586#F1

> Let’s generalize and condemn everyone over 40.

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/age-not-politics-pred...

Summary:

* "A new study from researchers at Princeton University and New York University released on Wednesday found that people 65 years of age and over are seven times more likely to share fake news than those aged 18-29."

* "While age proved to be the best predictor of who shared what was determined to be fake news, researchers also found conservative users were more likely to share fake news."

Do these studies justify your discrimination?

You don't know me or even in which cohort I belong, so please refrain from posting personal attacks or from manipulating the discussion to shoot the messenger.

Additionally, do you also believe that the need to attend anual healthchecks for prostate cancer after men reach their 40s is discrimination?

Boomer is the new Millenial..., as in all "old people" are Boomers and all "young people" are Millenials.

Two steps away from Logan’s Run. Over 30? Goodbye.
