1[[WMG:Facebook is the first step towards a 1984 environment.]]
2By ensuring that everyone in the world is [[EverythingIsOnline interconnected]], the World's Government can ensure that the ShadowDictator is watching over every profile and scroll through their social and combined network data to [[ParanoiaFuel make sure they're compliant]]. By controlling the revenue of FB games, half of the world is engaged in DoubleSpeak. There is no privacy of personal information- and the FBI now has a whole database of lives at their disposal... Soon everyone will be controlled?
3** Two words: Cambridge Analytica.
4[[WMG:Everyone on Facebook, except you, [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty is an AI]].]]

6Think about it. You [[ParanoiaFuel don't know]] for sure if any of these people are actually ''real''. You can become friends with people you will never meet in your life, weird people who you will ''never see''. It's all part of [[AncientConspiracy 'the Patriots']] plan to control the flow of information. By interacting with these "friends", they can slowly change your mind about things, until you start to see things the way 'the Patriots' want you to. Facebook controls all information. Facebook ''is'' the Patriots.

9[[WMG:Facebook was created by aliens in order to gather as much information about humanity as possible in future preparation for a full-scale alien invasion.]]
10By collecting all the social and private data about the human race, the aliens can infiltrate our database systems. This will ensure that the aliens will have an easier time learning about their own [[HumansAreBastards enemy]]. By doing so, humankind shall cause their own downfall... And it's all thanks to ''logging in''... The true creator of Facebook might be the official 'spokesperson' of the aliens in a human body as we cannot comprehend their true selves and the humans will GoMadFromTheRevelation...

12[[WMG:Facebook's creation wasn't about information at all. It was about distraction.]]
13The huge information database was a fortunate side effect, not the main goal. The idea behind Facebook was to connect people, to let them learn about and communicate with their friends as much as possible. The result? Countless hours of people interacting with each other, especially more extroverted people.

15So how could this benefit anyone? Well, say you're a loner SocialDarwinist who believes that intellectual progress, such as inventing new things, is impeded more than it is helped by social interaction. Maybe you think talking with people about inane things distracts your thoughts from more important, lofty subjects. So what do you do? You increase people's opportunities to ''interact'' with each other through the Internet. Those who ''love'' socializing will take those opportunities and spend more time updating their internet status- rather than [[ModernStasis considering inventing any new devices or even crafting a literary masterpiece]]. As a result, your own site have less competition from the literary professors.
16
17And not only that, but fellow loner-geniuses ''also'' benefit, since their own introversion and gaming tendencies means Facebook has ''more'' of an impact on their free time than on that of their more socially-oriented friends and peers. As a result, human progress will slowly come to a halt... But surely they shall come to depend on the introverted 'nerd' who can shun others long enough to focus on his mundane tasks. Human invention will be then considered slowed to a halt.
18
19Society, upon realizing that nothing could be done without these computer nerds, will lift them up and eventually ''idolize'' them. Every jock who sneers at a geek will be shunned, children will dream of growing up to lead a computer company pushing [[FollowTheLeader yet another exciting new social technology]] similar to Facebook... And you, Mark Zuckerberg, will be the vanguard of this new generation of popular nerds- as the very website that condemns the socially-inclined masses to inadequacy, brings you the admiration of those same masses...

21You'll end up a billionaire with millions of friends, known worldwide, having shaped the very world to your liking.

23Bravo, Mr. Zuckerberg. Bravo.
