There is a third kind who still have Facebook accounts, but those are just the nature's way of saying that Darwin got it right.
That's a non sequitur.
Having a facebook account or not
is an almost negligible factor in
the grand scheme of things.
The kind of information commonly
exposed on facebook can be more
conclusively inferred from
other information sources.
Do you use a smartphone? Skype?
Any search engine?
Does your home internet come out of a plastic router? Do you click on the little lock icon every time you go to a SSL site, to verify the certificate hasn't changed? Do you know the fingerprint of the legitimate facebook SSL certificate?
Think about what any one of the above
devices "knows" about you in comparison
to what facebook knows about you.
- kelas 12y agoTrue, true. The only difference is that somehow Google still maintains a straight face telling people they are not guinea pigs in their next study. Zuck never had that option in the first place, their only strategy is to maintain grip on the population at all costs, and no means are too sleazy. What you want to try is to shut down your Facebook account and check some e-mails they will be sending you for months to come... Prepare for the drama. They will be showing you the cutest photos of your family and closest friends, saying they're all devastated because you've gone antisocial. Zuck broke our hearts.
- jmgrosen 12y agoHm, I shut down my account, and I haven't gotten any emails from them... perhaps they've changed?
- kelas 12y agoNo, I doubt they have. What's more likely is that you took an option to to opt-out from any further communication from Facebook, something they reluctantly offered when all attempts to connect with you emotionally failed.
