Oh please. So everyone who has concerns about the loss of privacy must have a superiority complex? "You're not a special snowflake just because you don't have an app installed on your phone" ...I think I figured out who actually has the superiority complex here.

My comment was about the people featured in this type of article, and people who feel they are “better” than the rest for not making a mainstream decision. If your reason for not using social media is concerns over privacy, then maybe you don’t fall into the above classification, and what I said doesn’t apply to you. Either way, I wasn’t talking about privacy concerns, and you responded as if my entire comment was an attack on people with said concerns. Which it wasn’t.

  Why does it matter if some people think they are better than others? What are you trying to add to the discussion here? Your point in this thread amounts to, "apples are crunchy and sweet".

  Who in the article said they feel superior? Here's the people from the article: Mary Amanuel - saw her friend obsessing over likes and thought it to be unhealthy, realized she used social media to put on a false face and stopped. Isabelle - doesn't like how her friends engage with social media on their phones in lieu of talking to the people in front of them, prefers to spend her free time outdoors, and was disturbed by how Cambridge Analytica used social media. Emily Sharp - saw cyber bullying and didn't want to have anything to do with it. Jeremiah Johnson - realized he was competing for the appearance of "happiness" and decided it was unhealthy. Tyreke Morgan - prefers to make deep connections in person over maintaining lists of hundreds of "friends". I don't see any of them saying they feel "better" than others. You are projecting.
