I stopped using Facebook regularly just a short time after I created my account. I have a philosophical problem with Facebook: it’s a walled garden that seeks to suck the remake the Internet and indeed our every social interaction into business assets.
They say that if you’re not paying for it, you are the product. But more and more, it’s not we who are the product but our every online move. Still, in spite of this low-grade whining, for a long time I have kept my account active and periodically check up on friends and family.
No more. With their latest move, I’ve had enough. I’m done.
