Agreed. I deleted my accounts on (almost) every social media provider who I did not feel respected my basic human rights and didn't look back. Did I loose touch with anyone? Maybe, but if my connection to them was mediated only by social media, it's worth it. It's a basic matter of self-respect. Do you want to choose how you control your attention? Or do you want to give up that control (and respect) by letting facebook et. al. choose for you?
