It decided that my name wasnt real enough so they wanted evidence of my name and location.

In short, not on your fucking life.
 
But how will you know what an ex-colleague thinks of Adele's new song, or what your brother in law is having for dinner?
 
Facebook thinks I am in wither Michigan or Hong Kong. I did nothing to give them that notion but neither do I disabuse them of it.

I am certain that somewhere they, of course, know my exact location down to a couple of meters even when I have location services off on my phone, but they can't well share that with their marketing department, can they?

I have noticed that even with location services and blue tooth off, if I carry my phone into a bar or grocery store and get proximate with anyone not already on my friends list, they will pop up as suggested "friends."

I do not need an intrusive mega-corp to analyze my behavioral patterns and suggest to me who I wish to befriend.
 
I haven't been on Facebook for 5 years.. I don't miss it one bit! However, they make me recite the Serenity Prayer every evening.

If they were solely dedicated to your needs, would that change anything?

Nope, Because there is no algorithm to predict loyalty, humor and more importantly, who you are when you are around them.

You raise an interesting idea though. What about a personalized, platonic matchmaking service that matches interests, maybe a personality profile derived from a personality test.

I wouldn't like it because I like my friends like I like my furniture, interesting, sturdy and eclectic.

What if it simply recommended easily manipulated lackeys? A Lackey list?
 
I've "liked" quite a few news and political pages. So my primary source of news is Facebook. I don't have many friends on there, as my real friends I see in person and my old friends are old friends for a reason. My extended family, all of whom live within a half mile of each other, are all on there chattering back and forth as if NSA isn't watching.


I'll get rid of all the social media and electronical devices one day. But not today.
 
Im not on Facebook. I dumped it years ago when it went mainstream and got inundated with soccer moms and the over 50 crowd. No offense anyone. :eek:


I am, however, an Instagram addict. Truth!

I forget to open that up most times. I have started snapchat though, are you on there?
 
I also just signed up for periscope. Have you heard of it? It was new to me but when I signed up there were literally hundreds of thousands of ppl on it already.
 
The only time I heard of periscope was when that chick recorded herself driving drunk.

Dont do that.

This would be useful if my plans for world domination actually required a cadre of minions. But it doesn't.
 
It's cute how lemmings just can't help but to search out more and more cliques to ensconce themselves within. COMMUNITY!
