RE: #DELETEFACEBOOK AND JOIN STEEM?
The wonderful world of Steemit never ceases to surprise, and you sir, never cease from uncovering and sharing good info - thanks!
This isn't news to me, and the only reason we are hearing about it is because the info was harvested "improperly". Rest assured folks, there is no fuck to be given about your privacy, except from YOU. LEARN THE LESSON - if you trust some entity more than your own common sense, expect to get burned. Never had a Facebook, never will. I value my control and my privacy too much to trade it for convenience.
i used to own a few websites myself, i never did this but anyone with an app or website could pinpoint everything about you in just a few minutes, also selling of your info without you knowing happens on just about all websites, i didn't have the heart to do that to anyone so i just left that part alone. your emails are sold in bulk to anyone who wants to pay for it. If your going to delete facebook you might want to think about everything else you are on too realistically. You think facebook is bad honestly google is number 1 id watch out for. twitter amazon ect.
agreed. Having my data out there is bad enough, but it adds insult to injury when they think we're all too stupid to notice what they are really up to. I provide the data I must provide in order to use the services I feel are worthy enough to warrant that trade-off. Facebook isn't one of those for me, and the first chance I have to ween myself off those other platforms I will. I have the same loyalty to these companies as they have to me - none.
