Deleted my Facebook in 2006 because a terrible person from my hs died from a drug overdose when i was in my freshman year of college. I posted something like “death is sad but he was not a good person and i won’t miss him” and got jumped on by a bunch of people i already thought were annoying, so i said “fuck this whole website”. It was still when you needed to be in a school to join.

It’s been a crazy ride all these years watching all the terrible things that Facebook does, and people just keep using it. Helped elect trump. Steals and launders art. Takes advantage of all your data. Fosters terrorism and crimes. Just a huge shit hole. “but it has its own built in craigslist!” 🙄😒

You all realize this same shit is happening here right?

It’s a public forum 🤦‍♂️

And since it wasn't ever a secret that these services are for data harvesting, they got next to nothing from me. I mean does it make a substancial difference if they sell your data or use it to get to know you so they can do targeted advertising... Or train an AI with it? I'd say the latter isn't even that bad compared to the other business model. But yeah, be cautious about these tech companies. Generally speaking they're not invested in your privacy. On the contrary. If you value that, use other services. And it's been that way for quite some time.

Was that a well guarded secret?
