No one in their right mind would trust FB by now. It's not much more than a time waster and an avenue to a "gotcha".
In business, if the opportunity to use FB in a purposeful manner that would further goals, then maybe cautiously crafted use of the thing. But even there, I'd venture it is best to generally avoid the it.
Just put facebook dot com and all Facebook's related snitch domains that track people all over the Internet - you can find the rather long list online - into your hosts file pointed to 0.0.0.0 and be done with them.
While this is over the top and probably would have done it, my 'truth is stranger than fiction' moment was when I found out all that stuff on the Internet about the banksters really was true.e.g. almost all the money is really just evidence of interest bearing debt i.e. there is no money, just debt.
.. I was born into. Times really have changed. Funnily enough for by now, I would have ventured personal space travel and flying cars, the preemption of revenge porn never crossed my mind.
1. "Your employees will do their best work when they want to work, not when they have to work. "
That would depend on the calibre of the employees' attitudes, and the work environment and culture.
So while your statement may be true, the thing is, many of them will not want to. Many people will slack to near zero if left to their own. The coffee maker won't even get cleaned. Not everyone of course, some are enthusiastic self motivators. But many in the workplace will slack to zero given the opportunity.
So if you sit and wait until they actually want to do their best work for you, you will be waiting a long long time.
2. "What are you doing to assure they want to come back the next day and continue working for you?"
Usually the employers provide them with whatever passes for local currency, plus maybe dental. At most shops this works like some sort of talisman. 'Natch the self-motivators tend to already be doing just what it is they want to, but for many of the rest it will be the only reason they ever considered employment in the first place.
But they were told they were naturally superior: the German kids were told it was because of their race, the Japanese kids were told it was because of their culture.
Did these U.S. police use bobby sticks and community kiosks, or did they use F4s to napalm villages? It was a war, whether or not the U.S. gov't acknowledges it.
It took the vets here eons to get the Korean War recognized as such, and many vets were denied all manner of support because the gov't wouldn't admit it was a war - but it was. What a disgrace those are who won't call it what it was: a war.
Is there hope for us? Or will we just have to accept this marxist communist (de facto) government's dictate?
P.S. It's we the people.. you're evil too;)
To all intents and purposes the desktop/laptop is still using the GUI Xerox invented - desktop metaphor - mouse - onscreen pointer - click and move about the icons for files and folders - WYSIWYG word processors.. so... automoblies still have steering wheels, even self-driving ones.
In the late fifties, Buick experimented with a joystick controlled automobile. It worked fine, but the test customers didn't like it, as they felt more comfortable and in control with a wheel.. so Buick decided not to reinvent the wheel, and dropped the experiment.
One wonders who the real criminals are sometimes, eh? I've read it gets worse, as not only will they steal someone's cash, some of these police organizations will march same to a bank machine and have their victim clean out his/her accounts. So if you ever visit the US, don't take all your bank cards.

The Flat Earth Society *calls* it a fact, yes. Is it an actual fact though?
When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion, it is called a fact.
".. just DRM for made up money .."
I've never read it describe that way, thanks.

And I'm quite content with that.
It's ag'in the law, not my problem.

"I'd be an idiot to not assume financial ruin."
Yes, you would be. A pre-nup is nearly a must in this day and age.

I don't care how liberal minded you think you are, nor how repressed you think I am, I just don't want to see it, thank you very much.
Funny, but poignant.

Sad, really.

'And they do go over and snoop your stuff, and they will even lock you out.
That's it in a nutshell.

I seriously might to have to re-evalutate how much YouTube watching I do.
This is the problem with (de facto) monopolies, the few alternatives were long left out to dry and don't have the content.
I hope Slashdot tracks the developments. Perhaps YouTube will reverse this darksided decision.
Ford did it first with the 1954 FX Atmos concept car. Buick tried too e.g. the Firebird III, also in the 1950s.
I don't think I do, definitely the US:
