The state of our surveillance state

[preston]

Everybody I know is on Facebook ... and over the past couple of years many of these people have expressed a desire to "get off Facebook".

Although it's not considered politically correct to admit that Facebook is a virtual surveillance app ... a lot of people have figured it out.

Nobody really has a concise and well-defined reason for wanting to kick the app ... but the desire is definitely there.
Unfortunately the programming that comes with social media is quite sophisticated ... and nobody wants to admit they're being programmed.

Like any bad habit / addiction / fetish / eating disorder ... admitting you have a problem is the first step.

My unsolicited advice ... Do not feed the beast.
Facebook is the face of our surveillance state.

Hello Preston. Thanks for the heads up my friend. Face Book has brought me closer to some old friends dating all the way back to grade school that other wise may have been lost forever. Other than that I can take it or leave it the people thing for me is a big deal. I see adds popping up all the time now for things that I'm interested in. Guitars, Aquarium, Railroad, Woodworking etc. they sure go out of their way to profile our interests. I actually want people to know more about my political views since I think they're I know we agree to disagree on a lot of things People will be People give them a few minutes a way to make a dime and they'll find a way to screw up a free lunch all day any day of the week. I've never tried Twitter, What's that like? Take Care

Railroad as in Lionel ... or railroad as in, "Oh there was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run."
