Facebook does not exist to help us make friends, but to turn our network of connections, brand preferences and activities over time -- our "social graphs" -- into money for others.
It’s like the Mob - you can never leave.
Ever.
Facebook is cool because it lets me be a butthole with a whole new set of rules and variables.
This fact may not be of value to everyone.
I bet this CNN guy got pawned on Facebook by conservatives
And to supply raw data to be digested by Identity Thieves.
to the writer of this filth....You won’t be missed. Never knew you to begin with. Glad to rid of you. I enjoy Facebook enough to keep with it. Talk about a quiter. I guess that motto, “When the going gets tough....”
I hope Mr. Rushkoff realizes that you can give up your FB account, but FB owns all your stuff forever.
Facebook: Face of Evil.
Guess some people just can’t be bothered to find out how to disallow certain unwanted actions by turning off/opting-out various functions; or to read instructions & learn to use their technology properly.
Kind of like the idiot blocking a single-lane road that my brother had to help in the snow. Idjit had 4WD, snow tires & chains on all four, but digging holes in the rear while the fronts did nothing: “What do you mean by ‘I have to engage the front differential for the 4WD to work?’”
reminds me of disgruntled former Freepers that write a long whiny posting why they are quitting.
Not sure what this guy is talking about. You can control your image on facebook by deciding what you do or do not decide to post. Just dont post to blogs using your facebook identity. Some like CBS marketplace require an identity like facebook and do not allow anonymous posting. Just ignore those.

FaceBook is inhabited by liberals who accuse you of being a hateful person if you politely disagree with them. GET OFF OF IT!
I figured this out many months ago and got out. I still have a fb public page for my band, but I’m not identified by name, I go in under another band member’s email addy.
I have another page under a dummy name with no friends and no communications. I use it to store things I want to post later using the band page.
FB screws with me, I screw with fb.
DUH!!!!!!

Just like well trained Pavlovian dogs, and, of course, leftists, we hate success! We hate Google, we hate Apple, we hate Etc...
I hear people say that a lot. What does one expect?? We wondered in the early years how this Internet monster would be "monetized." Would it be pay-per-site? View? Ads? Tracking-your-use is such a big deal? If you don't like it, there are tools and behavior that will stop it. Eh.
I ditched my Facebook account earlier this year.
I could no longer take giving aid to Obama cronies.
I like Facebook a lot more since I joined the prayer warriors to pray for children with cancer and other illnesses.
