      Because many people keep posting pictures, putting their real name and sharing personal info on facebook (“I’m a married male that works in Architecture. I studied at Michigan University and live in Ann Arbor”). This shit basically makes Zuck richer because he can sell more accurate data to companies.

      Because many dumb US States are kissing his ass to get data centers that will use water, electricity, generate pollution and create little to/no jobs. Dumb politicians think they are getting a great deal.

      This is the guy who wrote ‘they trust me. Dumb fucks’ in an email.

    People used to make fun of me cause I made up a fake persona for Facebook, never allowed tagging, never allowed my picture on it.

    Nobody, makes fun of me for this anymore.

    Most of them are off Facebook as of last year, but their profiles, personal data are all still there.

    As someone who has been in IT since 1994, I have a nearly zero presence on the internet, and I’ve had to work hard to keep it that way.
