"Facebook tracks posts and comments even before you post them...sending form data surreptitiously is morally wrong, and everyone knows it..."
protip: you can access FB without javascript via https://mbasic.facebook.com/ https://mbasic.facebook.com/ and you don't have to worry about such concerns. (I learned this from a Stallman video.)
- notliketherest 9y agoI'm surprised Stallman even encouraged visiting a Facebook property.
- em3rgent0rdr 9y agoHe doesn't encourage it by no means. But I have seen him say on one of his "javascript trap" videos (talking like parent telling his teenager if you are going to use sex, use a condom) that if you find you must, then use the mobile site. I can't find the video, but on https://stallman.org/facebook-presence.html https://stallman.org/facebook-presence.html under the heading "How you can communicate safely with Facebook" he writes: "To make the site work without the need to run nonfree Javascript code, visit to m.facebook.com rather than facebook.com itself." FYI, currently m.facebook.com now uses javascript, however mbasic.facebook.com doesn't, and is basically the same as m.facebook.com was at the time of his writing.
