[Technology] Will you #DeleteFacebook?

[desprateseagull]

Following the 'scandal' of user info being data mined for nefarious purposes...

 

[beorhthelm]

love the irony of #DeleteFacebook in a stand against data mining.

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

Data mining and targeted advertising. Who’d of thought? In answer to your question, no of course I won’t be deleting Facebook.

Eagerly awaiting Bozza's summons before the various committees for NSC's cynical manipulation of a Parish Council election in Hurstpierpoint.

I use it for the private message function, everything else I ignore. Won't be deleting it

 

[Greg Bobkin]

No.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

No chance. I'm happy with the trade off just so I can tag a mate who wears knickers to work lolz.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

No, but I ignored the silly quizzes which stated Only a Genius can get 10/10, or can we guess your IQ/level of education, which were the data farming apps.

I've just been on there supporting friends in Poland's "Black Friday" protest today against tightening abortion laws..........don't think the fascists are going to be targeting me for support.

I deleted it about 5 years ago. waste of time...... just like spending my days on here. One door closes.....

Is the OP deleting every form of social media then?

As for FB, you just have to ignore all the crap that comes through.

 

[Whitechapel]

No.

It’s 99% shite but a mixture of messenger, keeping in touch with the battle rap scene and organising events mean I keep it around.

 

[Gabbafella]

Deleted it 18 months ago and felt happier since.
Running commentary on what people's kids are doing, photos of their dinner and cryptic 'attention seeking' status updates. Load of crap.

I reckon there's more data grabbing going on from here than facebook , i fancied a pizza last night whilst reading about that poor rhino and before i could refresh the page Bozza had stuck up a dominos ad .

 

[mothy]

I'm very happy to give facebook & google my info.

Facebook gives me unlimited free storage of family photos - which having been burgled & lost hard drives is very important to me

 

[Tokyohands]

It's a bit pointless deleting Facebook when your smartphone is collecting data about where you are, what you're doing blah blah........So no.

 

[DFL JCL]

committed facebook suicide about 8 years ago. Never really got on with it to be honest, don't miss it.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

No social media due to hermititus, well apart from this that is.
