Stupid question : Can you trust Facebook with your data ?

in HIVE India3 years ago

Happy Friday everyone!

I couldn't find the energy to write a long post today, however, I wanted to keep consistent with my daily writing on Hive. So please excuse my laziness!

Stop using Facebook. If the history of data leaks can teach us anything, it's that you can't trust any company with your private data, but especially not one that has based its whole business model on collecting and selling it. The worst thing is that Facebook doesn't even think this is a problem.

Facebook makes money from you, and Hive makes money for us.

It was difficult to let go of FB, but now that it's done, I do not miss FB one bit. More time to myself, which was sorely lacking when I was hooked into trying to save the world (HA!) on FB. Good luck with day 15. One day at a time...

More time to myself

It's one of the best ways to look at it and let go of many things that are sucking our valuable time.

Good luck with day 15.

I was super tired yesterday and applied one minute rule to create this post and I'm proud of myself :)

One day at a time :)

Sometimes Facebook can be useful (for example you can communicate with wider group of people with the same interests in various groups), but you do not have to share your data with Facebook.

Actually for a little while there I was number one salesman of Facebook direct targeted advertising.

Our sales pitch was being thrown out to high level real estate agents and was radically successful I just had to wait through a pile of n
NOs to get the yes.

It is scary how much access that Facebook is able to use within your phone.

Can't deny Facebook provided value for many people in the past.

Data Privacy is gonna be a huge problem in the coming years.

I absolutely have to agree with that.

Nope. That’s why I don’t and have never had Facebook

never had Facebook

You're very smart!

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I wouldn't say that. But I’m sure as hell not stupid.

I stopped using Facebook a while ago. I don't even bother going there anymore. I don't trust them one bit with my data.

Believe it or not, I have reduced my use of Facebook since the day I used Hive. Because there is just a waste of time. Moreover I have seen a few of my friends whose many old IDs have been discarded. Moreover, nothing is safe there. Finally, a great thing is that Facebook is taking money from us. And Hive is making money for us.

just a waste of time.

You're absolutely right my friend :)

Not in this life and if there's a second life Facebook doesn't deserve my trust.
Trust aside Facebook doesn't reward me, I like rewards!

Remember Windscale?

The rebrand is a classic technique by companies to bury a history of bad publicity.

It won't work with Facebook, the name is too embedded already.

Sorry I had google Windscale..

Windscale fire of 10 October 1957 was the worst nuclear accident in the United Kingdom's history.

I hope more and more people will search for decentralized social networks and join HIVE.

Facebooks problem = Hive's opportunity

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Oh the point about Windscale is they rebranded it to Hinkley point afterwards - like Facebook rebranding to Meta!

Giving your data to Facebook is like setting a fox to watch the geese. The fox also does not think that this is a problem, when it kills and eats the geese.

The problem is many people have no other choices right now because decentralized social networks like Hive are still needed many years of developments and innovation to make web2 obsolete.

I wouldn't miss FB, but there are some communities that will not move away from it. I just use it as little as possible. I would like to get people using Signal rather than Whatsapp. The apps are pretty similar, so it would not be hard to change over.

I have finally deleted my WhatsApp and start using Signal and will keep spreading signal to people

My Facebook is account is 9 years old, but the last time I used it was in the same year I created the account. Lol.

I kinda still remember the password and co, but I don't have the time to play the Facebook game. No time for that at all.

Would rather cuddle my pillow and rant about Government. Lol.

you know when you asked it. yeah clearly you cannot trust them, yet millions of people do. maybe thatwhole privacy thing isn't as important to people as so many make it out to be? most of our lives are in the public eye already.

yet millions of people do.

People don't have many other alternatives and all their friends and family are already on Facebook.

I wouldn't know as was never tempted to join FB and very happy I haven't. The facial recognition app they had was rather scary as they can use it to filter through photographs knowing who all your contacts and friends are. Data information is big business and they have the key to the safe with everyone using them.

Absolutely not! Facebook is a company engaged in suppressing certain viewpoints and enhancing others.

Unless Meta becomes a side chain on Hive, no need to trust it 😌

Me personally would like Hive to become the sidechain of ETH.
