Am I the only one left without a facebook account?
Can't join the group
I have an extreme dislike for facebook given that they constantly change things and there are just too many ways they use you for advertising. I think when they started putting peoples picture up with a company they had liked and then targeted their friends with it, making it appear as if you were making a personal recommendation, was the last straw. What I don't understand is that a lot of celebrities didn't want that as they want to be paid for their endorsements so something was changed.
I just don't want to have to keep up with those shenanigans so I know how to protect myself. I actually had a company that I bought some expensive software from move all their support to Facebook. So in order to get support for a product I had paid for I had to agree to a third party's terms of service (Facebook in this case) and sign up with them thereby allowing them to sell me on the advertising networks. That's just wrong and I didn't do it but many companies are moving in that direction and now I don't have access to support for that software. Makes me mad.
