If there's anything we've learned over the past couple decades, then that any sort of social network by this company is a terrible idea.
No idea what camera you're talking about, but we need less cameras, not more. I don't want to get recorded or live streamed by some strangers either, especially not if it is some stupid as drone that causes even more noise pollution.
I think you speak for the minority. Video calling is quite popular and there is a healthy market behind it. I love the communication that's possible with family. Being able to have a multi room conversation that followed me while I clean and cook would be fantastic.
If you think the majority of people do frequent video calls then you're even more delusional than I thought. But that has nothing to do with flying cameras or the disinformation cesspools that Facebook social media platforms are anyway.
Edit: Oh. You're that dingus that said the ban of menthol cigarettes is the cause of the rise of fascism in America. It all makes sense now.
I only do phone calls when I'm in a situation where I can't look at a screen, such as driving. Otherwise, if it's not in person, it's text or video. And, given my personality, it's usually text for most people.
