Have to agree 100% with PeterD.
Facebook is the most invasive, intrusive, devious and useless website ever devised - designed to cater to narcissists, the "me-me-me" generation, and to those who live to post useless personal information.
My opinion of Mark Zuckerberg is that he is nothing less than a con-artist of the highest order - making billions from selling inane and personal content to companies, and constantly manipulating Facebook users to work for him for no reward - apart from the Pavlovs conditioning of seeing their name on the Web, and getting those users sucked into the Pavlovs conditioning cycle.
Facebook has virtually no intrinsic value to the world - even though it has real value to Zuckerberg and the other investors in Facebook.
The worrying part is how utterly devious Facebook is in acquiring your personal information and habits - and building massive databases of that information - and then re-selling that information on to huge data-dealing companys, that you have never even heard of - and which you have even less chance of finding out what they are doing, with all your personal information.
I have never used Facebook, I find it an utterly appalling site, user-unfriendly, full of garbage information - full of criminals looking for targets - and intent on tracking every single thing I do on the web.
Here's a tyical example. How many times have you clicked on a webpage and seen your address URL suddenly redirect to a Facebook link - then redirect again to the website you wanted - without opening any Facebook page?
That's Facebook tracking all your web movements without telling you. It's like seeing a big rat run under your bed.
You know the rat is there - you saw it run under your bed.
But you have no idea what the rat is doing under there, and you have no idea how long it is going to stay there.
More importantly, you know the rat shouldn't be there, because it's not something you wanted or asked for.
This is what people need to think about, long and hard, before they support websites that are only interested in bleeding people dry of their personal information, and giving them virtually nothing in return, apart from Pavlov conditioning.
Cheers, Ron.
