I left FB about 10 months ago. And I don't miss it. Too many nosey ass people, and too many pseudo religious posts from non-religious folks. I swear on any given day, I would have 17 Status updates about people grateful that Jesus allowed them to put Butter on their English Muffin. Through him all is possible. Now I have a strong faith, but people protesting that God was instrumental in providing Frosted Flakes in their bowl is a bit F'n ridiculous!!!!!

And I don't need a 2hr status update on the stupid ass stuff your 1yr old did all day. My baby cried, my baby pooped, my baby spit up....NO SHIT THATS WHAT BABIES DOOOOO

. Dont even get me started on those lame ass "Become a Fan" apps. Steve BECAME A FAN of Hugs. MF'er we all like hugs damnit, I just don't feel the need to click a button to show all of my 275 "Friends" that I like em!!!!!

Sorry Im done now. Facebook get's me all kinds of f'n angry

Like the shit we post on the org doesn't incriminate us.

Lawd, chicken littles.

I like reading all those statuses of other people too. Most of them aren't "my baby spit up" it's more like funny behavior, or funny quotes from the talking children.

Actually, I like those kinds of updates too because I like to make my typical inappropriate comments - like the time I told a friend that a pillow + her child's face = the sleep in time she was lacking.

Exactly, my posts here are far more public than what I post on FB.

time do do what I did!!! dual accounts - one for anything goes, and the other for boring aunties

nope, i have mine set pretty private, for just my friends & family.

Not even after today.

the fact remains that to Facebook you are not their customer, you are their product. They gain a massive dataset of personal information that they will monetize without even blinking.

This was your basic privacy on Facebook in 2005 :


And here we are, in 2010 :


Obviously, this is with default settings and you can tweak those to a certain degree but Privacy should not be a choice, it is a right ! Services accessing your private data should be Opt-in rather than Opt-out.

I, for one, have no interest using a service that I don't trust with my information and that doesn't have a tad bit of a sense of responsibility with that data.

Why would I care?

I still don't get it. I don't get solicited by anyone...except for the odd ad that run down the side of my page...but I totally ignore it.

I've considered it a few times.. but now I have to for work, so..

JustErin said:

I didn't say you should care but maybe it makes you understand why others might care

It's free choice young lady.

Besides interacting with friends and family, I've reached people I wouldn't have any other way (for my artwork and latinpopshop), so it would make no sense to leave.

johnart said:

Me too.

I get to see what all my former students from the computer lab are up to. Many are in college, and some I get to scold on their terrible grammar and lazy attitudes!

and occasionally, "said friends" post a pic of you with dead hair and double shoulder pads from the 80's. Same folks post a pic of your hot Harley brother with his Alf doll when he was 12!
