Unfortunately Facebook is where I still get a lot of my business.
I see so many people recommending deleting your Facebook account. As far as I am aware, that only removes your ability to control the information they collect. They will create a shadow profile of you anyway.
If you’ve already accepted their terms of service and have an account: Best thing to do is to lock down the privacy controls, audit the “off-facebook-activity” trackers once in a while and avoid those websites in the future, and never use the account. Give them no wiggle room.
Err…what’s the point of this 6 year old article, OP? Are there any specific issues about it that make it relevant now or that you wish to discuss? If so, if would help if you’d put them in the post.
Yes.
I don’t know if it’s a duty but it is a damn good idea and has been for awhile now. I left Facebook in 2014 and I can’t even imagine how much worse the last 10 years would have been for me if I’d been part of that shit show.
And for those paying attention, the last 10 years have not exactly been a blast anyway.
