		<description>Yeah, people have been requesting a “Dislike” button on Facebook for quite awhile. This scam, however, is nothing but proof of how gullible many of those people really are.
First of all, Facebook will never add such a feature because it goes against the very fiber of its being. The “Like” button, after all, is Facebook’s cash cow, an incredibly powerful tool that enables the company to steal, compile, package and sell its unwitting users’ private information to marketers and advertisers.
Worse, through the “Like” process, Facebook and other social-networking sites have thousands of third-party applications their users can install. Because it’s impossible to police them all, however, users of these applications run the risk of inadvertently installing spyware, nuisance adware, viruses or other malicious programs. These applications pose serious risks when it comes to identifying theft or even predatory behavior because they typically ask their users to share personal information with strangers. 
Wouldn’t it be great, then, if one could communicate, chat and share files, photos and video with friends, family and colleagues without having to give up all that information in the first place?
When you join zeldaB, you have and maintain all your rights to privacy. You don’t give up anything. No gathering and selling information about you to advertisers; no monitoring your every move; no mandated public profiles that reveal far too much information about you; no hidden terms and conditions specifying that, when you join their community, you’re giving them the license to use any content that you post however they see fit.
