FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
A group of former Facebook users based in Orland Park, Ill., fed up with the mandatory changes that came with Facebook‘s network-wide switch to Timeline, has created Friendio for Facebook defectors.

Friendio is an alternative social network to Facebook that promises more privacy and control, say its creators. The new social network feels like a pared-down Facebook, with similar tabs and capabilities for friend requests, messages and notifications.
“Friendio does not modify privacy settings, nor do we force people to create a scrapbook of their life,” said Doug Freitag, the company’s president in a statement.

Friendio is trying to distinguish itself from Facebook Timeline, pushing the slogan, “It’s all about you.” The layout and theme of Friendio are completely customizable. The company also allows open access to its API for developers and curious users to play around with the new tool.
Ranked high in the site’s ethos is the fact that its privacy policy will never change. The creators want to take a stand against mandatory changes and additions users may not want such as Facebook’s implementation of Timeline.
After registering for a Friendio Network profile, users will receive a confirmation email that looked eerily like a Facebook email. The new company has adopted Facebook’s blue banner in its emails. Friendio, which has its own Facebook page (see video above), allows users to log into Facebook to invite your friends to join you.
