Tuned is the worst idea since Greedo shot first

 

[Randel.D]

Uhhh. Right. Really enhance the intimacy between you and your partner with... Facebook.

Facebook and private ?

Beat me to it!!

I’d stay far, far away from this.

 

[dantracht]

I saw this yesterday and shared this with my girlfriend of nearly 8 years, who is, like me, working from home in our apartment. The bedroom is now my office, and the spare bedroom is her office.

Her response: "I'm right here, what do we need an app for?"

No thanks, Facebook.

 

[Return Zero]

Double nope, the whole way. It's even beginning to look like a triple nope.

 

[sparkso]

You mean for the mistress.

 

[Mansu944]

Or I could just iMessage my wife. And really be private.

Exactly. And this concept has been hugely popular particularly in Asia, with virtual gifting, snapshot memories, etc.

The concept isn’t my cup of tea — imagine having a permanent record of your teenage romances — but it clearly is for some people.

The fact that Facebook is the company that released this under a pseudonym will be lost on most people because 1) most people will never realize the connection between the pseudonym and Facebook and 2) even if they do, they won’t care because they use Facebook daily and simply aren’t aware or don’t care of the privacy implications.

Is this a late April Fools Joke? It has to be, right?

Who in their right mind would ever trust Facebook with "private" messages? This is truly unbelievable.

 

[Vanilla35]

Murderers, pedofiles, adulterers, lawyers the French and The Germans.

French and Germans??

 

[tny]

Because who doesn't want more Zuckerberg in the most intimate parts of your life?

Came here for this content, was not disappointed.

 

[ascender]

Hold my trackpad please, I need to puke 🤮

And as for “private” 😂

 

[StevieD100]

The NPE part of Facebook? Oh yes...
No Privacy Ever.
SOP for Facbook.
Nothing new here.

 

[Basic75]

"Private" and "Facebook" in the same sentence? Yeah, right.

 

[GenesisST]

Murderers, priests, adulterers, lawyers the French and The Germans.

You had a typo, I fixed it.

 

[armhol]

What does comform mean?

 

[BlankStar]

Don't get why people say it's not private... It's just you, your partner and Zuckerberg. Cozy, private app for just the three of us.

 

[aforty]

Facebook ... private, and I also have a bridge to sell you.

 

[aknabi]

Yeah... her, me and Zuck or some other brogrammer peeking in... That's the opposite of romantic... and you can't have Facebook and "private space" in the same sentence.

 

[thejadedmonkey]

Genuinly curious, how does this differ from iMessage or Messenger?

 

[macintoshmac]

"...a private space..." is a joke unto itself when it comes to Facebook. The only thing private about Facebook is probably the life of Zuckerberg that people do not know whereas he knows about everyone.

So they encourage people to share music, voice notes, and what not so they can peep into their even more intimate stuff!

 

[nburwell]

This is a belated April Fool's joke, right?

 

[backslash-f]

Haha, it IS private. Private between you, your lover, Zuckerberg and his entire crew + third parties willing to pay for the data of a romantic lovely couple...

 

[TheSkywalker77]

And iMessage still remains the best messaging app.
