Kick Facebook
Beacon is evil. Plain and simple. There’s no way to sugar-coat this. If you haven’t deactivated your account or, better yet, demanded your account be permanently deleted from Facebook, you’re only feeding the fire.
But Facebook is Fun!
I know you like you some Facebook time. I know you like seeing all of your friends and what stupid things they’re getting into but you have to understand that the only way Facebook and their network of advertisers are going to learn that there’s advertising and then there’s just creepy is if you say it with your vote (or membership in this case, in other cases it’s dollars). You must abandon them for them to see that they’ve gone too far. Even if you’re of a younger generation that accepts advertising as a part of your life, you have to see that this is a major turning point. Have you ever seen Minority Report? Where the ads scan your retina, immediately finding out who you are and what products you’ve purchased so that they can change ads midstream and advertise to just you? That’s what this is. This is the seed that grows into that. If that doesn’t make you sick to your stomach, you’ve got problems.
Don’t Take My Word For It
Greg Reinacker , Gigaom, Download Squad, Idea Shower, Silicon Alley Insider, and C|Net feel the same way.
You must leave Facebook.
