Giant info rich database is like divine knowledge / privilege. Can NEVER entrust any one to have.
Gay Phone exploitation + bully + restriction against users starts way way before you hit their power-on button. That famous Gay Phone term JAIL-BREAK says it all. Why buy & pay for a crap that put your ass in jail? Better to check-in LHL's Changi Hilton?!
It is design to grab you by the balls and juice and exploit you from very very beginning.
Basic fundamental users caught within Gay Phone Inc product's grip are those:
- Basically non-electronic non-engineering non-computer type
- Expect computer product to be IDIOT PROOF
- Help the users to hide / conceal their carelessness, stupidity, idiotically & ignorant - lack skill lack knowledge to use computer.
- Keep their jobs, not get fired for lacking computer abilities.
- Help conceal users' brain dysfunctionalities.
- Dotard and Lazy!
Take for example, USB vs Lightning charger plug.
USB for users who instinctively know that computer plugs need to be plugged in only one correct way for a reason / logic. Care to check it to plug USB, if can not plug, instinctively reverse it and try.
Lightning for users who knows only how to fuck CB! or get fucked! Never check, any which way any hole can also fuck! That's is why called Gay Phone Inc, found by gay, employing gays, and make products to suit gay mentality.
Mouse example:
Normal Mouse left + right button + center thumb wheel.
MicroSHIT original mouse :3 buttons
Gay Phone Inc original mouse: one single huge button only!
They are for users who can not tell left or right, panic and lost in front of computer screen, can no longer even hit the correct button and if boss stood behind will get fired! Just one simple big button to hit, saved their jobs!
To the Gay Phone Inc type of user, that is considered VERY HUMANE!
I say genocide these all!

tis wat peepers sait after quittin social medias.
I've ever felt more depressed, unfulfilled, angry and anxiety filled than when I had Facebook for nearly 12 years (I got on FB when it was created in 2005). For years I fought my own instincts regarding the toll it was taking on me. Once I deleted Facebook & Instagram, Snapchat (didn't have Twitter), I found MYSELF. Not other people's successes and adventures. But MINE. I learned to value MY life no matter what condition or state it's in. I have a simple, homely life and that's amazing. QUIT Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & SnapChat, NOW. You'll never go back, only forward, breathing in and out the way you were meant to!
All of my friends and family seem to think im going through some type of crisis cause i'm 21 and quit facebook and instagram. It's sad that we live in a world where choosing to not have social media accounts is seen as something "crazy".
Left Facebook 2 months back and suddenly I have so much time, I am less judgemental, don't care what others are doing and focus more on building myself. I feel free!!
Facebook is fake as fu**. I call it a bragging forum. People pretending that everything is great, hey look at my kids ACT score. Hey look at my legs on a beach vacation.
I quit social media today after doing research on how bad it is for your mental health and my personal experiences, being on there made me feel so insecure and like a failure or pressure to be "in style" seeing my friends married or with kids boyfriends traveling. and it made me feel sorry for myself not having the same thing. I do believe social media is all a popularity contest and fake.. I know being off of there will make me happier!
I quit social media for a month after reading Cal Newports 'Deep Work' as an experiment and I can honestly say it was the most enlightening month I've had in years. I felt so alive, was way more happy, productive and sociable and now that my month is finished I don't even want to go back. I'm going to stay off social media for as long as I can, it really is poison
Always posting things like what you eat, where you go, who are you with, and so on. It's tiring, at the end what they are looking for are likes and nice comments saying how beautiful they are. Then they reinforce their hunger for increasing their EGO and of couse approval of others. We are not products, we are people that deserve a wonderful life with love and self-acceptance.

Facebook's chief security officer Alex Stamos said to resign

SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook's chief security officer Alex Stamos plans to leave the company in August over a dispute about how the social media giants's platform has been used to spread disinformation, according to several reports.
Facebook refused to comment if Stamos had resigned or if he had disagreements with fellow executives at the company. In an emailed statement, the Silicon Valley company said Stamos continues to its chief security officer.
According to a report in the New York Times Monday, Stamos has been at odds with the company's top brass over the investigation and disclosure of alleged efforts by Russian operatives to influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
The report said most of Stamos’ responsibilities were assigned to others four months ago, just as information about alleged Russian interference was beginning to hit the news.
According to the Times, at that point Stamos said he would leave but was persuaded to stay through August because it would have looked bad had he left at that time.
In a statement, Facebook said Stamos leads Facebook's security efforts "especially around emerging security risks." .
In a tweet, Stamos wrote that despite the rumors, he is still "fully engaged" with his work at Facebook.
He did not, however, state that he is still Facebook's Chief Security Officer, the position charged with ensuring the integrity of the platform's security. He instead said his role had changed. "I'm currently spending more time exploring emerging security risks and working on election security," he wrote.

Facebook came under fire over the weekend after press reports that a political intelligence firm with ties to the presidential campaign of Donald Trump had improperly accessed data from the profiles of as many as 50 million Facebook users via a developer.
The firm, Cambridge Analytica, has touted its role in helping swing the 2016 election to the President.
Facebook had already faced scrutiny by U.S. lawmakers over alleged use of the platform by Russia to send inflammatory and fake news postings to users in the United States during the 2016 presidential election in an attempt to inflame and divide voters.
News of Stamos' possible departure was first reported by the New York Times Monday afternoon, citing unnamed sources. Also citing sources, Reuters published an article soon thereafter also saying Stamos would leave.
Stamos has a reputation for taking strong stands to protect users' privacy. Prior to his position at Facebook, he was the chief information officer at Yahoo. He left in 2015, reportedly over his concerns over asoftware program the company created for U.S. intelligence officials to search its customer’s incoming mail.

In a Chinese perspective Social Networking is 人脉关系. It is all about how things work or not work in this world. Getting a divine view on these details how the world is organized / connected and how the connection changed in a GLOBALLY COMPLETE database is super super powerful. Can not be even estimated.

Breakingviews - Facebook gives members one more reason to leave
Jennifer Saba

Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg exits the stage during the annual Facebook F8 developers conference in San Jose, California, U.S., April 18, 2017. REUTERS/Stephen Lam
Facebook lost more than $35 billion of its value on Monday after reports said that more than 50 million people had their personal data misappropriated by political consultancy Cambridge Analytica. The firm used the Facebook trove, obtained without authorization, to build a software program to influence voters, including in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, according to the New York Times and Observer of London.
ADVERTISING
Multiple investigations have been opened in the United States and Europe as a result - just as Facebook scrambles to address earlier challenges involving fake-news and ad-measurement mishaps. The controversy hasn’t yet shaken the confidence of Madison Avenue, which is still shoveling money to Facebook. Revenue rose 47 percent last year to $41 billion.
The debacles may be taking a toll in other ways though. Zuckerberg said at his last quarterly earnings presentation that the aggregate time users spent on the social network was falling by 50 million hours every day. Advertisers often turn to how long people hang around as a sign of engagement.
And although the number of daily active users in the fourth quarter rose 14 percent year-over-year, to 1.4 billion globally, cracks are starting to appear in key markets. In the United States and Canada, members dipped by 1 million in the fourth quarter from the preceding three months, to 184 million, while in Europe member growth has slowed significantly. Those regions generated nearly 75 percent of the company’s fourth-quarter revenue.
Like MySpace before it, Facebook’s long-term dominance is by no means assured. New research from eMarketer estimates that Facebook’s share of the U.S. digital-ad market will slip slightly over the next two years as user growth slows and pricing for ads reaches its limits. The onslaught of privacy concerns - and the risk that it drives away users - may accelerate that decline.

Alexander Nix: 'A Champion' with no Facebook profile

"A Champion". "A highly aspirational problem-solver interested in unique and creative ideas".
"He is resilient, tenacious and able to cope well with setbacks, although he sometimes exerts negative behaviour in reaction to conflict."
This is the OCEAN score of Mr Alexander Nix, based on a free personality test his company had Facebook users take. The OCEAN scale refers to a measure psychologists use to determine someone's Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism.
His company Cambridge Analytica would collect the data to build psychological profiles that represent some 230 million adult Americans. The information is then used for what Mr Nix calls "behavioural microtargeting" - basically individualised advertising.
The 42-year-old impeccably-dressed CEO of Cambridge Analytica now finds himself at the centre of a data mining scandal that has ensnared social media giant Facebook.
According to a joint probe by The New York Times and Britain's Observer, Cambridge Analytica was able to create psychological profiles on 50 million Facebook users through the use of a personality prediction app that was downloaded by 270,000 people, but also scooped up data from friends.
The data was harvested by an application developed by a British academic, Aleksandr Kogan, the newspapers said. Some 270,000 people downloaded the application and logged in with their Facebook credentials, according to Facebook.
The application gathered their data and data about their friends, and then Kogan passed the data to Cambridge Analytica, according to both Cambridge Analytica and Facebook.
Cambridge Analytica said on Saturday that it did not initially know Kogan violated Facebook's terms, and that it deleted the data once it found out in 2015. Kogan could not be reached for comment.
Mr Nix finds himself in the spotlight even more, after Channel 4 in London on Monday (March 19) released secretly-filmed videos showing him talking about underhanded methods that Cambridge Analytica may use during campaigns.
A spokesman for the company said "we refute any allegation that Cambridge Analytica or any of its affiliates use entrapment, bribes, or so-called 'honey-traps' for any purpose whatsoever".
Mr Nix grew up in London's Notting Hill, and went to school at the ultra-exclusive Eton, where boys wear black tailcoats and white Eton collars to class.
At Manchester University, he studied the history of art.
He began working as a financial analyst with Baring Securities in Mexico.
Then he moved on to Robert Fraser & Partners LLP, a finance and tax advisory firm in the U.K. In 2003, he became director of the SCL Group, focusing on behavioural products and services.
In 2007, he began focusing on elections and opened offices in Washington D.C. and Delhi, expanding his global staff to more than 300 employees, according to New York-based Heavy.com website.
Cambridge Analytica was founded in 2013 by Stephen K. Bannon and Robert Mercer, a wealthy Republican donor who put has put at least US$15 million into Cambridge Analytica.
Three years later, Mr Nix was named one of "25 Geniuses Who Are Creating the Future of Business" by Wired Magazine.
He further gained prominence after Mr Donald Trump won the White House in late 2016, in part with the firm's help. He went to more clients to pitch his services, the New York Times reported last year.
Huffington Post described him "a showy salesman" who is in his element on stage making presentations at large conferences.
Surprisingly, Mr Nix comes across as someone who is fiercely protective of his privacy, according to past media interviews.
It is perhaps no surprise that he has no Facebook profile.
Married with with three young children, he is said to enjoy playing polo. He has the fine, firm hands of an equestrian, wrote Sydney Morning Herald's senior writer Stephanie Wood who did an interview with him in April last year (2017).
"I'm quite a private person. I don't think it's necessarily in my best interests to share my life with other people. I'm sorry about that. But I'm just feeling uncomfortable about this. I don't think that I want to be the story," he said during the interview, which he recorded.
He told Ms Wood he has frequently been misquoted and he blames "shoddy journalism" for some of the controversy surrounding Cambridge Analytica, which this year opened a Sydney office.
London-based SCL, Cambridge's parent company, has said it has worked in 100 countries, including serving military clients with techniques in "soft power," or persuasion.
Mr Nix had described it as a modern-day upgrade of early efforts to win over a foreign population by dropping propaganda leaflets from the air.
He blasted The Guardian and the New York Times for their stories on how his firm was engaged in improper tactics to sway elections that included the 2016 US presidential election and the Brexit referendum.
"If you tell a lie often enough it becomes truth. But even after we came out and denied that again and again and again they just kept propagating the same message," he told TechCrunch in an interview in November 2017.
On the shock outcome of the 2016 US presidential election, he said:"The liberal press (characterised Cambridge Analytica) as “witchcraft, they treat it is “voodoo” and now it’s Russia’s fault! They just cannot accept the fact that Hillary was such an unpopular, such a divisive candidate. She failed to mobilise her base and people didn’t fundamentally trust her. Rather than looking in the mirror, they much prefer to beat up Cambridge (Analytica) beat up Trump, beat up anyone else."
This month (March 2018), he told a parliamentary inquiry into fake news and Russian interference in Britain's referendum to exit the European Union that Cambridge Analytica never used or possessed Facebook data.
But after the reports in The Times and Observer on Saturday (March 17), Mr Damian Collins, the Conservative lawmaker leading the inquiry, said he planned to call Nix back to testify.
"It seems clear that he has deliberately misled the committee and Parliament," Mr Collins said in a statement.

You have any idea what is information war?
Information is everything in this world. Not just about wealth, it is about health, success / failure, live and death, power, rise or fall, win or lose. To the MAXIM SCOPE.
With correct information and enough information, you can be not only world's richest strongest and most invincible superpower.
With sufficient and accurate information you can take down any government, win any war, hijack and use any weapons or nuke, you can start and win WW3.
You can take any thing and any office and be any boss, from nobody to King of the world or god. You can kill anyone or heal anyone if you had the right information.
You can win any election or cause anyone to lose any election, all you need is just information.
Everything in this world especially security works or fail only by one thing, = information.
Not only that you must just gain information, but also you must prevent others to get information, destroy their information, change their information to WRONG data.
World is 100% manipulated by information.

I only know that there are malicious Malaysian and Indian criminal bastards twisting all my info and anything can become filthy from these filthy bastards mouth. So big corporations collecting data everywhere is wonderful protection of the real truth and not the manipulated 1/2 truths or 1/4 truths or hot air truths of malicious criminal bastards. Just like CCTV everywhere you lose some privacy but protection against robbers or thieves. But of course I am not talking about small people who steal data or steal photos like cheebye Malaysian thieves and slanderers and harrassers

WhatsApp co-founder calls on users to #DeleteFacebook

The campaign calls on social-media users to unsubscribe from not only Facebook, but also Instagram and WhatsApp, which are owned by the same company. Facebook shares have fallen by over nine percent in the last two days alone, shaving roughly $50 billion off the company's valuation.
The social-media giant bought WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2014, but Acton had already invested $50 million into WhatsApp competitor Signal in February before joining the reactionary movement to boycott Facebook. He tweeted on Tuesday: "It's time. #DeleteFacebook."
Cambridge Analytica allegedly bought metadata harvested from 50 million Facebook users to more specifically target American users during the 2016 presidential elections. For context, Facebook boasts two billion active monthly users.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is currently investigating Facebook's handling and alleged misuse of users’ personal data. The company signed a consent agreement with the FTC in 2011 guaranteeing data privacy regarding the use of personal user data. This outlined how users would "receive notification of and agree to Facebook sharing their data with outside firms."
"We remain strongly committed to protecting people's information," Facebook Deputy Chief Privacy Officer Rob Sherman said in a statement. "We appreciate the opportunity to answer questions the FTC may have.”
An FTC spokesperson said: "We are aware of the issues that have been raised but cannot comment on whether we are investigating. We take any allegations of violations of our consent decrees very seriously, as we did in 2012 in a privacy case involving Google,” they added, as cited by Cnet. The US Congress has already threatened to call in senior Facebook executives to public hearings.
Those Facebook executives have yet to make any official public statement regarding the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Meanwhile, #DeleteFacebook has been trending on social media over the course of the last few days.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg did not make a personal appearance at an emergency meeting held at the company yesterday to allay employee fears and answer questions. Zuckerberg has also been summoned before a select committee investigating fake news in the British parliament.

As Facebook roils from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which the private data of 50 million users was leaked, the #DeleteFacebook movement is gathering momentum. Even WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton has given his support.

Users Abandon Facebook After Cambridge Analytica Findings

Debates over privacy have plagued Facebook for years.
But the news that Cambridge Analytica, a political data firm that worked on President Trump’s 2016 campaign, was able to gain access to private data through the social network has sparked an unusually strong reaction among its users.
The hashtag #DeleteFacebook appeared more than 10,000 times on Twitter within a two-hour period on Wednesday, according to the analytics service ExportTweet. On Tuesday, it was mentioned 40,398 times, according to the analytics service Digimind.
Cher was one such deserter, writing on Twitter that the decision to quit Facebook, although “very hard,” was necessary because she loves the United States.
Brian Acton, a co-founder of the WhatsApp messaging service, told his tens of thousands of followers on Tuesday to delete Facebook. The social network acquired WhatsApp in a $19 billion deal in 2014.
For people who aren’t celebrities or billionaires, the decision to abandon Facebook came reluctantly, because the platform often served as their sole connection to certain relatives, friends and professional opportunities.
Here, some newly Facebook-free users of social media discuss why they left and how they plan to cope.

______
Richard H. Perry
A filmmaker in Los Angeles
For a long time now, Mr. Perry had wanted to leave Facebook.
He never felt comfortable knowing that the company had access to much of his personal information. In the months before the 2016 presidential election, he watched the social network become what he called “a garbage platform of ads and weird reposted articles and people that you care about exposing themselves as racists.”
But Facebook was also where Mr. Perry promoted his films, where he posted ads seeking help on the set, and where he communicated with colleagues and a “massive number” of his friends and relatives.
Until he heard about Cambridge Analytica.
“I suspected this stuff was going on, but this is the first time it’s been plainly exposed,” he said. “It seems so malicious, and Facebook seems so complicit all the way up and down, like it doesn’t care about its users.”
Mr. Perry, 39, has since deleted his profile and plans to switch to Twitter and Instagram for his social media needs.
“It was an easy decision,” he said. “It’s not going to be the end of the world.”
______
Dan Clark
A retired Navy veteran in Maine
Mr. Clark kept one Facebook account to chat with friends and a separate account to keep tabs on members of his family nationwide. This week, he deleted both accounts.
“Facebook was the main platform I used to keep in touch with all of them, and it was a difficult decision to give it up,” he said. “But you have to stand for something, so I just put my foot down and said enough is enough.”
Mr. Clark, 57, said he had already been angry with Facebook for censoring some of his posts, which he said expressed his staunchly conservative views but were “never evil or putting anybody down.” He could not abide the idea that his personal information was also being sold or given away without his consent.
Before cutting the cord, Mr. Clark posted on Facebook inviting his contacts to ask him for his personal phone number. More than 100 people reached out within three days.
“There are just so many ways nowadays to stay in contact: phones, email, instant message, Gab, which is a social network that doesn’t censor anything,” he said. “Facebook is more obsolete than people would think.”

Her first experience with fake news — a Facebook post claiming that Pope Francis had endorsed Mr. Trump’s candidacy — altered the way Ms. Kleeman looked at Facebook.
“It changed the psychological and emotional feel of the platform for me,” she said. “I don’t have a great feeling when I log in.”

Paul Musgrave
An assistant professor in Amherst, Mass.
Twitter makes Mr. Musgrave feel depressed about the world, but Facebook is the social media platform he is trying to abandon.
As a political science teacher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Mr. Musgrave, 36, feels a professional responsibility to keep abreast of the news and academic chatter hurtling at him in the form of tweets.
Facebook was more valuable to him as a “low-key, offstage networking tool,” a “replacement for end-of-year family newsletters” that allowed him to “passively keep up with people,” he said. He joined the platform more than a decade ago and before that had been a member of Friendster, a precursor to Facebook.
But in 2016, while helping his mother during her campaign for a government position in Indiana, Mr. Musgrave discovered a “poisonous swamp” of content on the site. The Cambridge Analytica findings were even more disturbing, he said.
"This is a company that has Orwellian levels of data about us, truly Big Brother-level, but it’s behaving as if it has no social responsibility and is a purely neutral medium of communication,” he said. "That’s what’s really been scary.”
Having deactivated his Facebook account, with plans to delete it, he now worries about connecting with people who use the social network as their main conduit of communication.
“I’m definitely pruning myself away from some of those really important branches,” he said. “I watch my own students try to navigate the world of apps and smartphones, and even they don’t really know how the internet works outside these enclosed garden spaces.”

Once Mr. Greenzweig confirms that the 1,195 photos and 85 videos in his Facebook profile have downloaded, he plans to delete the account he has maintained for nearly a decade.
Mr. Greenzweig, 40, said the Cambridge Analytica news was “the last straw.”
“We have surpassed the tipping point, where the benefit now fails to outweigh the cost,” he said. “But I will definitely miss what the promise of Facebook used to be — a way to connect to community in a very global and local context.”
A year ago, Mr. Greenzweig was an “extraordinarily active” Facebook user who juggled conversations with friends, managed several groups, took out ads for his business, maintained professional contacts and even developed a trial chatbot function on the platform.
But on Tuesday night, in his final post, he asked his network to connect with him through email, LinkedIn, Twitter or phone.
“See everyone in the real world,” he wrote.

【#deleteFacebook運動】刪除臉書的時候到了？ 專家：相愛難分手更難

臉書洩露個資的醜聞延燒多日之後，創辦人祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg）終於打破沉默，除了在臉書發表聲明，也在CNN的「Anderson Cooper 360」節目專訪中公開道歉。
不過，道歉顯然澆不息網路上對於臉書批判的怒火。WhatsApp創辦人更帶頭發起了「刪除臉書」（#deletefacebook）的網路運動。
另一方面，也有另一種看法，認為刪除帳號真正懲罰到的是用戶自己。因為臉書近乎壟斷專賣的性質，讓我們生活上和工作上已經無法跟它分手。
檢視相片
WhatsApp的創辦人艾克頓公開留言「是時候了」。號召網友加入刪除臉書（#deletefacebook）運動。
時候到了！刪臉書
號召網民起義刪除臉書帳號的呼聲，隨著個資外洩醜聞的發酵而蔓延。通訊平台WhatsApp的共同創辦人艾克頓（Brian Acton）在推特發文呼籲追隨者快點和臉書說再見。
艾克頓的動作特別令人側目，因為四年前他才把自己創辦的WhatsApp以190億美元天價賣給了臉書。
自從賣掉WhatsApp之後，艾克頓積極參與以保護隱私的相關服務。最近才宣布投資五千萬美元並加入訊號基金會（Signal Foundation）。
比較奇怪的是，他在推特呼籲大家刪掉臉書帳號之後，也在臉書上做出了同樣的呼籲。（留言後，他的臉書帳號已刪除。）

祖克柏打破沉默，在CNN專訪中道歉。不過對於「刪除臉書」的運動他的反應則是「這樣不好。」（東方IC）
祖克柏：呃，這樣不太好
臉書創辦人祖克柏本人在CNN的專訪中，對於這項運動的回應是：「我們目前為止似乎沒看到具有意義數目的人們參與這個活動。不過，各位也知道，這並不是好事。」
《Slate》一篇文章也提出了不同的看法。它認為刪帳號的運動「傷害了沒有權利離開」臉書的人。它雖然表達了用戶對於臉書的不滿，但是臉書真正辜負並傷害的不是用戶，而是整個社會。
相愛已難 分手更難
刪除臉書說起來簡單。我們可以走告親朋好友，大家從此改用其他的通訊平台，用Line用Ig（雖然Instagram也是Facebook旗下產品，但至少它有很多美圖），我們也可以改回過去打電話或寫信，反正就是不要用臉書。這就像我們抵制不良商家常用的做法。
不過，《Slate》文章裡提醒讀者，刪除臉書是一種特權。因為臉書在許多方面實在做得太好、太方便、影響力太強大，要人們離開臉書大神提供的服務，對許多人而言是一種自損的行為。
如今社群媒體退燒，自認「喜歡臉書」的人或許不多。不過，絕大多數人生活上仍和臉書維持若即若離的關係。也許偶爾更新內容、偶爾貼文換頭照。不過如果決然刪掉臉書，對我們個人必然要付出代價，我們會和一些朋友從此失聯，不知道老同學在哪裡聚會，錯過想看的書和電影，也不再注意到附近可能有興趣參加的活動。
網路等於臉書，臉書等於網路。一旦刪除帳號，我們的朋友、我們的生活場景、我們的共同生活圈很大一部分就此消失。">即使在個人的生活上擺脫臉書，我們也很難和臉書斷離關係。由於臉書無遠弗屆，有些人凡事問臉書，網路等於臉書，臉書等於網路。一旦刪除帳號，我們的朋友、我們的生活場景、我們的共同生活圈很大一部分就此消失。
這種網絡效應讓臉書成了某種天然壟斷的專賣店，要搬到別的社群媒體，就必須要有足夠多的人也一起「移民」過去。換句話說，我們想要參與社交生活、想要參與社會政治的對話、想要推銷宣傳自己的店家或產品，就必須留在臉書上。
刪臉書 懲罰到了自己
因此，「刪除臉書」可能傳遞了錯誤的訊息，彷彿消費者可以抵制某一種個別的選擇。不過如今臉書超過二十億的用戶中，許多人事實上別無更好的選擇。離開臉書，實際上是一種自我撤退和自我犧牲。刪除臉書並沒有提供我們解決方法，但可能直接製造了新的麻煩。
這說起來好像有點無奈不公平：氣得牙癢癢的用戶們發起抵制，但是對臉書卻是無關痛癢，反倒是自刪帳號的用戶受到傷害。也許更好的解決方法，是更多「吹哨人」來揭露醜聞、是我們用戶更謹慎保護資料、是臉書公司自己的良心發現、是政府法令更多的監督管理，讓臉書的商業模式重新翻修改正。

這說起來好像有點無奈不公平：氣得牙癢癢的用戶們發起抵制，但是對臉書卻是無關痛癢，反倒是自刪帳號的用戶受到傷害。也許更好的解決方法，是更多「吹哨人」來揭露醜聞、是我們用戶更謹慎保護資料、是臉書公司自己的良心發現、是政府法令更多的監督管理，讓臉書的商業模式重新翻修改正。
