Serious question: What happened?
I was a FB member for a few years and quit mostly because I wasn't actually interested in what anyone was up to. As far I could tell, FB worked perfectly fine. My breaking point was realizing that my friends and family aren't that interesting.
- drcongo 6y agoI'm a social networks veteran - from Friendster and early very Flickr on. By 2012 it was pretty obvious to most people working in tech that Facebook was heading in a bad direction with scant regard for users' rights or privacy. Looking back now, it was all pretty benign compared to what it has become, but there were enough indicators like the constantly changing privacy UI which, with every tweak, made it harder to protect your privacy. Add in the fact that the "Like" button started appearing on sites external to Facebook so that they could track your browsing outside of their platform and that was enough for me. At that point it is spyware.
