if you're still on facebook, you're a fool

If you ever made a facebook account, you're a fool.

OP -

Google ads have been using your personal information to sell you to 3rd parties for years. Google AdSense is basically on every single non-pornographic site.

No shit, that's what every market research agency ever has done

You really think I care that Facebook knows my birthday and favorite sports teams and all that other top-secret info that I voluntarily typed into my profile?

They're messing with your mind to sell ads to funeral parlors, they're using your personal information to sell you to 3rd parties, and they are also some of the most irritating, self-important people on the planet. Lean-in, you have no neck. Zuk, connecting people to the internet in sub-Saharan Africa is about trying to make you richer.

Please, delete your accounts if you have any shred of self-respect left. Even if you don't. This post will probably get deleted because LR is now on Facebook and wants to sell ads too, I guess.

Didn´t you get any friends on FB?

Totally agree.

I had wine with he and Thiel in 2005, along with some friends, listening to their plans.

I was invited in to fb, in 2004. Declined. Listening to their plans to "leverage and monetize" people's personal info and data... I said "no thanks, Big Brother."

You don't need the government, you have fb.

nice - how successful have your exits or public offerings been since?

Late to the party much? Pretty sure that's what every company on the planet does. Whether it's, FB, Google, VISA, MC, your local running store, etc., Good thing you skipped the FB 'plans.'

The information I've voluntarily allowed them to have, knowing it could be given to whomever they pleased, is well worth the fact that Facebook indirectly got me laid on multiple occasions. Everyone has to weigh the pros and cons my man.

What if I have an account so I can stay in contact with real-life friends, but never log on? I guess it makes me a fool to use a free service to be able to communicate with my friends?

Anyhow, it's a free service that provides some value to people. How did you think that service came about?

I can see that you'd prefer to live in some communist paradise somewhere where money isn't an issue, and valuable things just kind of magically appear. When you get there, drop us a line!

Sure you did

How else am I going to spy on my exes?

Zuck is actually not a part of the globalists.. he got in too young and is too much of a humanist. They've been trying to bring him down/compromise the comapny's leadership, but he's sniffed it out so far (I'm sure he regrets hiring Sandburg). That being said.. he is still way over his head as anyone would be in that position and he definitely doesn't realize what a vast array of enemies he has. Whatever you do.... don't quit FB just to join Google plus because Google plus is big brother for real.

Keeping the friends list small is key to enjoying FB IMO. My only FB friends are the ones whose posts I want to read. Although, you can have them on ignore- but I prefer the former.

Not fully on topic. But my 2 cents.

So I should care that they are going to send me ads about stuff I like? I've spent my entire life seeing ads for crap I dont care about.

How does one get laid indirectly?

Funny guy. Read again, you will see that I did not say I was laid indirectly, I said that Facebook indirectly caused said lay. That's more than Letsrun has ever done for me :(

I have no problem with the misleading information I've given them. I mean, am I the only one who read the TOS on these free websites (Hi Brosjo!)?
