what exactly forces them to use Facebook instead of something remotely private and secure?
- scrapcode 13y agoTraffic/Audience is everything.
- weland 13y agoThe hive mind, unfortunately.
- itsallbs 13y agoBecause if you are trying to reach a mass audience, you have to go where the audience is. If no one sees your message, you are wasting the time and effort used to communicate that message.

Being grateful for health and freedom is one thing - being so grateful as to not put them to use, or let them slip away, is another. If Facebook has made a change for the worse, it's worth talking about.

Its the exact same reason it is hard to compete with facebook. Its is a virtual monopoly. "Force"? No. But by using that word you are in the same disingenuous camp the "what have you got to hide" people. I mean, why bother about privacy at all, no one is "forced" to use the internet. Why bother about anything facebook does, no one is forced to use it. I could go on, but I'm not forced to....

- redblacktree 13y agoThis is a good idea. Perhaps an individual in a state that values freedom of expression more highly.
- jtome 13y agoI imagine the very reason some people are using TBB is to browse sites like facebook which are blocked otherwise.
