Facebook banned our founder Ladyada. Nothing public, just trying to log in and manage our company page. We reached out to the people including the CTO, no reply, so that’s that.

“Quote”
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: They “trust me”
Zuck: Dumb f*cks

  1. That’s the reason why Twitter and Jack Dorsey are better

  2. Deactivating my Facebook account was the best decision I ever made. It really blows how much importance is given to this social media platform, where negativity and hatred are rewarded over productivity and kindness… It has and always will be the biggest waste of time and mental energy and that is probably why most female EEs and CEOs know better than to waste their life away on something that unnecessary. Sorry you had to deal with that Lady Ada and team adafruit!

  3. Just get away from it. It’s good for you. Don’t worry. It’s just one less thing to manage which is pretty much useless. #stopusingfacebook #BanFacebook
