I would love to delete my Facebook account. The only main reason I use Facebook is the various multirotor groups, I like to follow. There isn't really any other place that has the same stream of content.
It's actually very scary how this shit is such a worst case scenario I had a very comfortable conversation with someone politically opposite of me about this exact thing, and we were talking in total agreement. On another day I had an argument about an entirely different topic and it was heated, it's very clear that this isn't a person I'll agree with on anything, yet we agreed on this stuff. In the grand scheme of a talk about this, it sounds like delusional, made up rambling but it's not a conspiracy theory, this shit is real. It doesn't matter what side your on, it's a mutual problem for everyone. It's also being confirmed more and more as time goes on. just look at this shit https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-emails-leak-key-details-2018-12 what the fuck
For me, its keeping in touch with old friends, events and local businesses, and news. And I use it to share my photos.
Saddest part is this video is from 2017 and nothing has gotten better.
The stuff he talks about here is pretty depressing. I posted a thread for Jonathan Haidt's talk on JRE. It's extremely related to this discussion. [VIDEO] Social media has caused an absolute catastrophic growth in teenage girl suicide and self harm.
Nothing's going to improve until there's a momentary incentive for it
The fact I need to pay a guy to hide my internet activity from the prying eye of corporations and government still tickles me with schadenfreude.
Cyberpunk without the punk :/
