Exactly. it's a fucking website. no one makes you join it. and you can easily delette your account.
also I don't really see how this violates privacy any more - people were already able to tag their friends anyway
and CCTV is in public, not private. therefore, umm, not private
Deleting it doesn't help as that only deactivates the account. Besides even if it is deleted, once the information is stored on the servers, it's likely being copied and sold to marketing firms or shared with 'interested parties' anyway. The saying goes, "The internet never forgets".
I also doubt Facebook became a powerhouse social networking site over conventional revenue ads or it's gimmicks, and that's kinds of what makes Facebook a bit... unsettling to me.
It's practically one of the greatest personal information database and spy tool of the 21st century. What's makes it so beautiful is that people willingly provide the information for this database, that it was franchised as a trend that people don't object to or understand the consequences of, it is amazing.
