the story isn't anything surprising to anyone reading this thread, we all know their entire business model is spying and tracking people and people pay them to influence it's users, it was so not-news that I didn't even post it

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/17/data-war-whistleblower-christopher-wylie-faceook-nix-bannon-trump?CMP=share_btn_tw

also it's not a data breach when the company literally used facebook's API to slurp the data, they just pinky-swore they'd delete it after they did

yep- it's totally unsurprising. what's particularly upsetting for me is how they're trying to clean their hands of all of it instead of owning it, because actually policing their platform would harm their profits.

the responsible thing to do would have been owning up to it immediately and overreacting in clamping down on the abuse. instead it's been years of hand-wringing and trying to have it both ways.

gently caress facebook.

imo if your friends or relatives are unwilling to communicate with you via the panoply of non-facebook communication media including but not limited to
  • email
  • skype/facetime
  • discord/slack/irc/gchat
  • text messages
  • a phone call
  • a written letter

you probably won't miss them and vice versa

but that's just my hot take

if you used facebook to say something to the effect of:

"i no longer want to use facebook because ___, so i am closing my account. i'd like to stay in touch. my email address is ____. could i have yours?"

(modulo whatever other communication tools you prefer)

don't you think most of your actual friends would readily comply?

i have not used* my facebook account since, oh, 2012 and i don't miss it one bit. don't have it on my phone and don't remember my password.

all the people i care about talking to have instagram accounts (still fb owned, but at least it's significantly less garbagey from the user standpoint) or just use the phone or send texts.


*intentionally, i know it tracks me everywhere
