Beware, Tech Abandoners. People Without Facebook Accounts Are 'Suspicious.'

Sorry if this was posted already. It's a few months old, but whatevs.

"Slashdot flagged a German news story in which an expert noted that mass murderers Anders Breivik and James Holmes both lacked much of a social media presence, leading to the conclusion, in Slashdots phrasing, that not having a Facebook account could be the first sign that you are a mass murderer.

The majority of Seniors may be killers.

Everyone who lived 50 years ago was probably a killer.bennie12

That's ridiculous. You can also be a mass murderer while being on social media. https://twitter.com/BarackObamaMrPraline

They don't/didn't have 'social media'.

online at least.

Hmm this makes the idea of deleting my Facebook sound fun.

You remind me of me gamerguru. Too much :P

But I haven't murdered anyone.

Replace "suspicious" with either "old" or "weird" and I'd agree.

I object! My murdering of people and my lack of presence social media are in no way linked.

I could make a Facebook account....I just don't wanna.

Farhad: I think weve mentioned it before that if you are going out with someone and they dont have a Facebook profile, you should be suspicious.

Emily: Wait a minute. You may have mentioned that.

Farhad: I think Ive recommended that. You know why, though? Imagine if this guy didnt have a Facebook profile. Thats why. You should be suspicious of someone who is not making your relationship known publicly on a site like Facebook. Im going to go on record with that.

Emily: Im fine with people not having a Facebook page if they dont want one. However, I think youre right. If youre of a certain age and you meet someone who you are about to go to bed with, and that person doesnt have a Facebook page, you may be getting a false name. It could be some kind of red flag.

Wow...

I worry about the opinions of others sometimes.

These kind of attitudes are only more reason to not make a Facebook account.

Well my little brother doesn't have a Facebook, and I'm pretty sure he will be a mass murder one day, so this theory seems sound to me.

That's some bulletproof logic right there.

He might be on to something - ever since I deleted my Facebook account I've been battling a strong urge to murder my family and cut them up into little pieces.PernicioEnigma

Cool. Still wouldn't have it any other way.

Raaaawr! I'm a murderer!

But I haven't murdered anyone.

Yet.

I love facebook. People who dont have facebook, I do think are weird.

I had a friend who had wondered if he got searched at an airport because he doesn't have a fb or twitter.

He's crazy, but maybe there is a little bit of creedance to that now.

Well that certainly makes it easier to identify potential dangerous social deviants and dangerous murderers.

Also, does it mean that facebook attention whores become suspicious and potential serial murderers each time they close their account?

No Facebook = Mass Murder. Gotta love a good Non sequitur. It's amazing that people would think someone is suspicious for not wanting to get numerous Farmville requests, or not wanting to know what someone had for breakfast. Canvas_Of_Flesh

:lol: Yes you CAN!

Thats BS... that Anders guy killed like five dozen people... I haven't got any social media presence and I have only ever killed one person.

Who?

Bloke in the article did state he thought it was a bit of a stretch to call someone a mass murderer based on the lack of facebook... Don't see how you can come to that conclusion.

However, agree a bit with the general gist of the article that people lacking a facebook usually tend to be a bit more socially "off" than people with one.

not having a Facebook account could be the FIRST SIGN that you are a mass murderer.gamerguru100

No. People like me without a Facebook Account are Smart...
