On: WhatsApp co-founder tells everyone to delete Facebook

[intrasight]

For several years, I've been pontificating the somewhat abstract idea that a software app will one day hack the human psyche on a massive scale. And by "hack", I mean to do us harm by tapping into the same pleasure mechanisms as addictive drugs. It never occurred to me until today that perhaps Facebook is this app.

I personally have always viewed Facebook as being in the business of mind control and have said as much to anyone that would listen.

"Pontificate" implies a pompous demeanor, I think you meant pondering?

Both. My friends hear it as potification ;)
