Too f*ing late. They already 'know' you. What makes you think they will delete your profile and 'forget' you? By closing your account or stop using it they may lose track of you for a little while but you are who you are and FB, NSA, etc already know it. In fact, I think the smartest way out would be to start posting, liking, commenting, installing apps that deceive your true self, let them build a different profile, fool them.
- bigbugbag 12y agoIt's never too late, and this is coming from someone who stayed away from the whole thing because it was obviously headed this way. How did I know? because it's not the first time this happens, it's actually a known business model, only difference is that they tried to pull a google by exploiting it themselves instead of selling to a larger established third party. And by the time facebook decline will be closer to the bottom, they will probably either sell the whole thing to recoup some cash, or massively sell the data in bulk, it's the usual way.
- flycaliguy 12y agoI once wondered actually if the best way to get yourself off of there would be to become a spammer and get flagged out of the system. Ultimately I'm not sure it would be very effective. To address the too late point, I disagree. Yes they have the foundation but outdated data is just not as valuable to them as the fresh stuff. There is also something to be said that continued use of the service is in fact continued unpaid immaterial labour on your part. To keep using it is to continue trading your time and the commodification of your life and relationships over to the bad guys.
