Talking about Facebook is strictly prohibited
Relax. It’s not what you think. Yet.
This is just a funny, but thought-provoking photograph I found while reordering my bookmarks:

Talking about Facebook is strictly prohibited on these premises!
That photograph was taken on December 1st, 2007 by Flickr user Alpha in St. Kilda, Australia. Some comments from other Flickr users are still good, no: much better than when they were written:
“I don’t really see what all the facebook fuss is about anyway… it’s a bit like the internet when it all started way back…"
“Nice! I wish they’d introduce a Facebook ban - like the smoking ban; one can’t talk about Facebook in enclosed public spaces!"
(This post was drafted in June 2020, but only put online in August, because… my coronavirus reports, of course)
