That facebook is a unnecessary evil is no question...the question will be what can be some of the dangerous aspects of zuckerberg's innovation that is facebook.
- Facebook is based, registered and run in the United States of America.
This is bad because of the Patriotic Act. Even if Facebook starts respecting your privacy, your data is still easily available to every governmental institution in the Country through open backdoors or requests, as this a pdf documents. Think about what this means to your freedom. - Facebook is a deliberate experiment in global manipulation.
Facebook and Government institution have a history. In 2010 the U.S. Government started developing and using a software which creates fake profiles on social networks to spread messages and to spy on people. - Facebook has gone public. Now everything that counts is money. They will try everything to make money out of Facebook, thus you, your friends, your communication, everything. At least, I bet on it.
- Facebook is a centralized social network. It is run by Facebook alone.
Not only does this contradict reality (you do not meet all your real-life friends only (!) in the same, single real-life place) it also makes the whole network prone to attacks and breakdowns. Think hacking attacks or software failures. The real-life complement would be destroying the one, single place where you meet all your friends making impossible to contact them anymore. - Facebook Like-Buttons on External Web Sites - I can only warn you about the everywhere emerging Facebook Like-buttons on external (non-Facebook) web sites. When you are logged in to Facebook while browing the Internet. Due to the fact that the buttons are loaded through an embedded iframe (the non-Facebook web site embeds a Facebook web site), these buttons provide your personal browing habits to Facebook, even without you clicking on them.
- Mark Zuckerberg is an evil hacker.
When Mark Suckerberg started Facebook he scraped student's profiles (names, images and other personal information) from several University websites to get his network - The Facebook - started. That is only one aspect of unethical behavior in his "sketchy" past. The question you have to ask yourself is: "Do I want to entrust a hacker like Mark Zuckerberg with personal information of myself and my friends and our communication?" Let me help you out: No! - Even if you want, you cannot protect your privacy.
You automatically entrust all your Facebook friends with your personal information, even against third-parties (like web applications (web apps) and data-sharing partners of Facebook). You would never do this in real life, maybe not even with your closest friends. On Facebook you even let the least tech-savvy person you know (or maybe do not even know) manage your online privacy issues. How sick is that? - Facebook takes too much of my time.
I have better things to do than wasting my time on Facebook. - Broken Social Circle.
I have a huge friend list full of people who are not actual friends. I don't know how that happened but my real-life social circle looks kind of different. - You are being stalked.
Generally speaking, Facebook is not really helpful when it comes to relationships. It usually just causes ridiculous jealousy. - It just feels bad.
I live my life in a free world with plenty of freedoms. They range from free thinking, free software, freedom of speech, ...simply freedom in all my decisions. Why would I want to be stuck in a walled garden like Facebook? - Facebook makes it incredibly difficult to really delete an account.
It is easy to find the "deactivate" option, but deactivation is not the same as deletion
- Friend or Foe?
People whom you would rather not like to be connected with, find and contact you. It is hard not to accept friendship requests.
-please think right and think +vely.
