Centralized IT is dangerous (I explained what's going on with social media censorship in that post). I deleted my FB and Twitter pages as well. Anyone using these will be subject to abuse of their private information in the future and it will be used against you by people in positions of authority. Do not make it easy for them.
So the Holy Trinity is: Security, Privacy and Anonymity.
You aren't secure in this situation which is why distributed IT is being developed. So your answer is to just give up and allow authority to screw you over? If you decide to opt out, there is a correct way to minimize risk. VPN's, TOR, encryption, physical device security...
