> many alpha geeks are talking about deleting their Facebook What the fuck is an alpha geek? > However I'm very very cynical that this would even have an effect It has a very definite effect on you (i.e. the person who stops using it). That's the whole point. > the rest of the users will just continue on as if nothing happened. And that's their choice. Yes, it's a scummy company run by a guy with less human qualities than Data from star trek, but it's their choice to make stupid decisions. > because they have petabytes of user data that Google don't have. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It's hilarious and sad that you think Google doesn't have a ridiculous amount of personal information about people. > Into a shared queue that anyone from Google to Apple, etc could access. Apple expressly take steps to not rely on user data for their business model, even releasing less-featured products and services if necessary (e.g. early versions of Photos.app didn't sync recognised face data via iCloud, newer versions do this peer to peer, to some extent). The sort of Data Google makes money from, isn't the sort of thing anyone would willingly share with them if it was made clear what they're sharing.
