Hey there, I totally understand the way you are thinking, and I was thinking the same way for a really long time.
This is not about convincing anybody to delete it's account, but I just wanted to mention my story and to give a reason for why I deleted my facebook account. Maybe you are interested in it...
I am actually a person who likes to think in a free way. Freedom of speech is very important for me. When I noticed facebook posts dissapearing because of critical thoughts I started to get angry about the platform. The peak for me was the moment, when whole accounts were banned for ridiculous reasons and even institutions were founded to censor what they call hate-speech.
Don't get me wrong. I don't think, that hate-speech is good as I am a peaceful person, but I think it's the wrong way to solve the problem by censoring and prohibiting to write about it.
Also the whole aspect of data facebook is collecting is frightening. Governments do have access to this data via interfaces etc. For me facebook became something much more frightening than the German Stasi
On one side we often talk about things that are bad but don't do anything against it.As this things are only possible because we support it, the only solution I saw was to delete my account to set a sign...
Cheers!
Cool, glad you understand.
Yeah, It is good to get away from facebook. An alternative that can completly replace it would be the best.... same functionality minus the privacy invasion.
I am the same way, I believe in freedom! Yes, facebook is big on censorship. It constantly censors the video "all wars are banker wars". Yeah facebook pages deactivate also.
I am not misunderstanding you. I completely hear what you are saying. aggressors of the truth will always use Orwellian terms to hide there true actions.
Yeah, facebook and google are huge data collectors. Googles even worse because they know how to organize it and index it very well.
Yeah, it is because most people don't know how to make changes in the world....including me. U?sually all the biggest changes and movements that have been made in the world have always been only about 3-5% of the people making those changes. Good, that is a very good proactive response.
Cheers!
