Cutting chord on facebook

[atlantacowboy]

Its finally dawned on me that i'm not the customer. I'm the product. This Data Analytics scandal is just the tip of the iceberg. FB has been selling your information to 3rd parties since it went public and maybe even before that......... So, today I took down my FB page which required a google search on how to do it b/c its not easy. Its been almost 12 hours and the sky has not fallen.

Never been on it. Just don't get the attraction. I guess I am just too private. And I really don't care when someone is going to the store to get some milk or why you have to tell everyone.

I use it like email.....when I need it

I fill out fake info and don't like anything

Good luck monetizing me

Could have used a profile randomizer to misinform them, instead of just deleting. Would have been more rewarding, probably.

What exactly is a profile randomizer? I'm sure I could just DDG it. I often think of killing my FB as well, mucho crap but there is some stuff that is useful. I gave dropped Google search, screw them and their crap. Duck Duck Go for me seems to be just as good. The Feds IMO really need to put the clamp on Google,Twitter,FB etc etc. u r either free and open mkt or u r not. Their time is coming soon...

I just think this BS about not holding 3rd parties accountable for content is BS. There is no difference now between FB, Twitter, and CNN. But, only CNN is accountable for their content. In other words, CNN can be sued for false information while FB and twitter cannot. You literally can't believe anything you read on FB or twitter without vetting.

You're so bad lol.

 

[rynochop]

FB is what you make it, and companies selling info to 3rd party is hardly anything new

I know if I google a certain product I may need I get banner ads on here for weeks for that product

Who you are doesn't matter. It's your attention and what you do that matter.

The only good thing on Facebook is DoubleU Casino jackpot tournaments on Fridays which i use AKA's for.

But, but, but......how will I like you?

Sam, you still have that political site?

 

[YosemiteSam]

Sam, you still have that political site?

You must be confusing me with @Reality. Or mean do I visit that site? Discussing politics with people is for the birds as most people are incapable of balance. It's either full on selfishness or selflessness.

I might have you confused Sam. I thought that, at one time, you had a political site. My bad.

Might have been Ice, Sorry Sam.
