Orrore per Facebook

Quando mi sono iscritto su Facebook, per provare cosa fosse, spinto da un amico, sono inorridito. Quanto tempo buttato a dire cose senza senso, con sconosciuti di cui si ignora ogni forma e fattezza. L’assunto di quel sito diabolico sarebbe poi la possibilità di ritrovare persone della propria vita, della scuola, del passato, che si sono perdute. Ma se le abbiamo perdute un buon motivo ci sarà! Una donna che non conosco, appena entrato in Facebook, mi mandò un messaggio. Era scritto proprio come segue: «Ciao. Hai lo stesso nome di mio figlio. Sei sposato?» Posso comunicare con chi segue questo filo?
