If you’re under the impression Facebook is a “cool” place to hang, think again.
Every single thing you do on Facebook is stored for near-immediate analysis and archived indefinitely without the right, for you, to know exactly what those archives hold, regarding your historical use of their “service”.
Orson Well’s Big Brother, in his book “1984“, was childsplay compared to the level of mostly cloaked tyranny Facebook brings about.
Each time you post a message, even a mere blurb or reply, you’re scrutinized and “evaluated” by computer algorithms with a wide set of limitations regarding what you can say, how many times you can say it and of course, who you’re allowed to say it to.
Facebook is nothing short of a control grid.
If you want to stay free, you better find alternative ways to gather online with likeminded people because Facebook, despite its friendly facade, is a huge spying system where nothing is left unchecked.
As soon as you want to participate in many groups, Facebook quickly tags you as an abuser.
Imagine if you had anything of significant importance to tell the entire world — Facebook would systematically prevent you from saying it to more than roughly 5 or 10 “groups” and would probably go as far as cut off your account because your side of the story is deemed “abusive use of their service” even though you’re using the network in a perfectly legitimate way.
If you want to build bridges which can’t be cut off by Facebook, network elsewhere, period.
You may think Facebook is just a joke but it’s not. It’s meant to isolate you within the little (or big) group of “friends” you’ve managed to build up and the system presents everyone else as a potential threat to your privacy while they’re spying on you, all the time. Isn’t that utterly ironic?
Whatever you post on Facebook, keep in mind that it’ll go through some artificial intelligence system and everything you say there can and will be held against you, when whoever has access to that data think it’s time to make a move on you.
Please people, be very careful with Facebook, it’s way more dangerous than it looks.
