Facebook’s Zuckerberg sues to force land sales

[Popster]

I want to close my facebook account, but so many of my friends use it that it's socially impossible. I used to take the view that I was very easy to find on the internet since I have a moderately high profile job, have myrealname.com as my website, so if you have my real name I'm the top google search - easy. But friends simply won't go that route. And now they are insisting on arranging things via facebook messenger. So for many people facebook IS the internet. I hate that view, because I think it breaks the original principles of the internet. If I'm given a URL for facebook I need an fb account or the odds are I can't go to that URL. Furthermore the permissions their app requires in Android are absurd - it's more or less everything on your device.

At the risk of sounding like a Google fan-boy, I will give them some credit for being more explicit about what they do with your data, allowing you to delete it, and download everything in a massive ZIP file. Facebook have moved the goalposts several times without warning users so I distrust them more than Google.

You are so right on.......I don't have a FakeBook account cause I trust them less than the peeping tom named Google.
