> If you do not agree, just stop using the product. What’s so hard to understand? I agree with you, and this is exactly what I’ve done. There are a number of businesses and clubs that are interesting to me, but they’re exclusively on Facebook so they’re out of reach for me. I have my ethics. I’m also the biggest loser in this story. The businesses and orgs have enough other participation that losing me has made no material impact to them. Now what? Should I continue to be a loser? Thats the choice I’ve made for the last year. I’m starting to wonder if it’s the right one. Meanwhile, I have to burn effort on making sure FB cant track me all over the internet. So I have my ethics while they demonstrate they have none.

> I’m also the biggest loser in this story. so you do indeed admit that facebook provides value to you and that sacrificing privacy is costing you more than what it provides you? Otherwise, you wouldn't consider yourself a loser in this story. I've completely weened myself off facebook for over 15 years, and it hasn't hurt me one bit. I don't consider myself a loser - any groups or product, or events being organized on facebook will not reach me, and if a friend tries, i actively ask them to email me an invite instead. Over time, i've also converted several people over this stance too - but only after they've heard about the facebook problems such as the cambridge analytica scandal and others.

  You're still being tracked by Facebook though. You might be the biggest loser in the story? The question is whether you value your privacy or the time Facebook forces you to do to avoid it's tracking more
