“Facebook’s conception of community is a mile wide but an inch deep,” Waldman added. “Everyone in our network is the same: They’re all friends. Our mom is a friend, so is that guy we met at yoga that one time. Our bosom buddy gets the same treatment as the person we flirted with last night. The community really isn’t there. It’s a facade, meant to lull you into a false perception that you’re really having a chat on the stoop at your local hangout, not helping to create an increasingly creepy virtual version of yourself with every click, message, or comment.”
