I'm not a huge facebook user, and really eschew social media in general. I only use these sites for promotion, as I have no personal gain from it. None if my friends use Facebook much, and that hasn't stopped us from keeping in contact. In any case, I'm just not sure why people go on and on about deleting these sites. Those who are concerned aren't that active (if they use it at all). Posting on Hacker News is preaching to the choir. Anyone who's had this discussion with regular Joe's and Jane's knows the dead eye glaze all too well. If it makes people happy to use Facebook or whatever, we aren't supposed to judge them. We, as the tech community, ARE the problem, and we add to it with every new IOT device, AI invention, and every database we build. It's up to us to take responsibility before being called on it. We are supposed to be the trusted ones, and we can only betray that trust because of the ignorant masses.
