Exactly. It used to be the online hucksters would "sell your eyeballs" (looking at their ads), but Fakebook has figured out how to sell your entire life.
I refuse to have anything to do with it.
Woz App?
Woz is right.
I don’t want to be sold.
The user benefit is relevant content. Woz and all are free to opt out.
Never had a Facebook account in my name. Never will. Never posted once under any name.
Note to Mr. Wozniak, Google is the same, or worse. Google not only has all the “Google account profile” data, but every bit of data it can put together by connecting all your browsing activity with all the websites you visit and all the web sites you long onto and all the on-line buying you do and all the financial data it collects otherwise and can connect you to. Who does it database all of that information for? It’s only real customers, the online data accumulators and who they serve, the only advertisers.
Wow, so it took Wozniak a decade or more to figure this out? I thought he was supposed to be a genius....
Everyone here should also know that every time you use your Credit Card or Debit Card, you are also being Tracked, Marketed, Bought and Sold like a $2 whore to Advertisers all around the world.
CASH IS KING and you Don’t need ID to use it.

I only created a facebook account because I live in KY and most of my family is on the left coast or in the Chicago area. However, I’ve noticed over the years I use it less and less. There is very little on there that matters to me.
And, frankly, now that we all just text each other (or call), I go there very rarely.
I get a few messages a day, and almost all of them fall into three categories:
1. reminders or notifications of events I don’t care about.
2. reminders of what I posted a year, two years, etc. ago.
3. People posting on the Rethinking Hell facebook group.
Number 3 is the only one I really care about, though number 2 is interesting. It’s fun to see a post showing “this day two years ago” and my house is surrounded by a foot of snow in the picture, yet I’m enjoying a single malt on my deck and it’s 74 degrees.
But facebook, nowadays, is really mostly just ads in the news feed. Meh...
I miss the days before the “www.” showed up. If you advertised anything...you got flamed.
Abandon Fecebook.
The wealth you provide is used against US.
OBAMA VISITS SILICON VALLEY -— tech bigwigs suck-up to Obama
F/B users about to be screwed. The genesis of Obama’s Stasi-like Democrat data base -—round one.
Let’s stroll down memory lane.
(hat tip edzo4)
ITEM-—Circa 3/13/17 Zuckerberg referred to a dinner he and other Silicon Valley leaders had about a month ago.
ITEM-—Here’s the news article edzo4 dug up
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/03/13/former-president-obama-visits-with-tech-leaders-in-silicon-valley/
ITEM-—it was not revealed who Obama met with during his visit to San Jose; as a private citizen, Obama is not obligated to say.
ITEM-—Edzo4 found this photo of the dinner from the Mercury News

ATTENDEES: Obama, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, Reed Hastings.
Why isnt Maxine Waters being subpoenaed? She blabbed about the “data base” Obama compiled containing intimate data on all of us that he intends to use in Democrat elections.
Waters knows a lot. She certainly has info WRT Facebook helping Obama compile very specific details about Americans Obama intends to use exclusively for Democrats.
The NYT reported in 2013: Obama suggested to his supporters: “Why not try sifting through my supporters’ Facebook pages in search of friends who might be on my campaign’s list of the most persuadable voters? Then my campaign could ask the self-identified supporters to bring their undecided friends along.”
The Facebook looting, as the Obamatons saw it, could also
<><> (A) get supporters to urge friends to register to vote,
<><> (B) get them to vote early,
<><> (C) get them to volunteer, and,
<><> (D) get them to donate to him.
(Source: 2013 NYT story about Obama’s reelection campaign).
The double standard is shocking: As the criticism of Trump escalates, you recognize that the ultra-liberal suck-up Zuckerberg uses F/B data as a political tool.
All of the F/B fallout magnifies the confession by a former Obama campaign parasite that they basically took whatever they wanted from Facebook, with Facebook’s blessing.
Say what? With F/B’s blessing? Isn’t this an in-kind campaign contribution. Was it reported to the FEC?
WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE Cambridge Analytica worked for the Trump campaign, and either stole, hacked, or through some other nefarious way mined personal information from 50 million Americans and used it to target ads on Facebook to people likely receptive to them.......activities that were lauded as leading edge stuff when Democrats did it.
WHERE WAS ZUCKERBERG when the Obama campaign used Facebook as a campaign tool?
Buying another used tee shirt?
When you’ve lost the Woz, you’ve lost the Internet.
Get ready for Zuckerbergs’s ‘stoop and scoop act.’
This is what Zuckerberg thinks of his users:
“I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS....people submitted to Facebook. They trust me. Dumb fucks”. (The Register, May 14, 2010)
Zuckerberg's insult to Facebook users is coming as the Facebook CEO "testifies” before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on April 11.
