Eh, disable location services for your facebook app. I assumed they already did this.
And if you don't want facebook to know anything about you, you can still use facebook. Here's the secret: just don't tell facebook everything about yourself. It's not hard to do.
- segmondy 14y agoNah, I have a fake gps location app. Just use that and set your location to where ever you wish. The best campaign again those that seek to collect data is to feed them incorrect information.
- greengreens 14y agoThe problem with that is your friends indirectly tell Facebook. Facebook can fill in the rest.
- sharkweek 14y agoI'm curious, a lot of my information is snarky (location: Antarctica, religious views: Nihilist, etc) -- I wonder if they're able to realize that I'm obviously being intentionally inaccurate?
- greengreens 14y agoTo put it another way, you don't have to talk to a person to 'know' them to varying degrees of certainty. You can gather bits of information and build your own image with out ever meeting.

- mullingitover 14y agoThis is only true if your private information is visible to your friends. I don't feel compelled to put anything in facebook at all except the stuff I'd normally put in a public-viewable blog. My profile is 100% blank except for my profile picture, which is a monkey in a nice wool coat. The only reason I actually use facebook at all is for party invites, if my friends could find a different way to wrangle party invitations I'd dump my account like it was myspace in 2007.
