I really don't get the facebook hate...the internet != facebook. You can opt out of using Facebook. You can use private connections and browsers to make sure you aren't being tracked by facebook. Facebook is non-essential. If you are worried about your privacy don't use it. The rest of the World Wide Web is still there.
- pmoriarty 9y agoYou underestimate how central communication over Facebook has become for some segments of the population. All their friends are on FB. All their family is on FB. Business associates are on FB. Their hobbies and news are on Facebook, and on and on and on. Sure. They could opt out of that, just as some people opted out of having a telephone in their homes back when it was the primary mode of communication -- but they were so few that one was considered strange for not having one. Of course, the objections to using Facebook are much stronger than they've ever been for having even a television, nevermind a telephone. Yet most people can't seem to tear themselves away. Not that they'd want to. They've got everything they need on Facebook, don't they?
