The Like Button

[Big Jeff]

I like the like button but I don’t feel it is particularly important in the global scheme of things.

If something resonates with me or makes me smile I “like” it.

I don’t wish to continue a discussion with someone but I do want to acknowledge my reaction.

So personally, I would prefer it to remain.

But of course we all have differing issues we are or have dealt with.

But what is the benefit of your "like" and weigh that up with the damage it does, I cant see its really a contest.

Its not at all, if you cant see that you cant see the damage and the issue at all.

So how is quoting the post and saying "this" not the same as acknowledging you agree with the post by pressing like?

"Liking" a post is not agreeing with, its a baseless inhuman reaction, a click, which leads to bullying and lives lost in the worst case scenario.

The fact that you might use it with your brain, doesnt mean all do, and most importantly some use it with their brain in an evil way to abuse people.

People can't abuse you with a 'like' button unless you allow them to.

Wrong is so many ways, have you even checked all the evidence posted?

This is a fact not a thing people can try to blow away like that. Lives matter.

I've talked about this well in the past, and surprisingly some were ridiculing me for doing so. They just didn't understand.

It really needs to go, the previous evidence I submitted I'll post more below.

There really is no defence for it anymore, I get that people are trying to copy popular social media networks, but that is no excuse given the reputation of said networks have been declining and exposed every year as completely reprehensible.

Well if you are happy to have blood on your hands, not sure how anybody is this day and age could come to such a conclusion.
