Please do stop and read this. Hey guys, Mark Zuckerberg is an asshole that repeatedly has shown that he doesnt respect his users, and only cares for his customers (The companies that buy your data). But not only that, he and the Facebook group have conducted social experiments to manipulate the mental and emotional states of some Facebook users through restricting their news feed, and completely without their consent. They also take a LOT more of your data than you might think, and you signed it off to give them permission to do it, too, in the End User License Agreement (EULA). At least one of my friends was smart enough to see this from the beginning, and created a false persona for Facebook, but most of us didnt. Now, its not like there arent dozens of other options to use as social networking sites, its just hard to transition to another social networking site for two major reasons: First off its hard to learn a whole new site as complex, or more complex than Facebook. And secondly, if all of your friends dont migrate to the same new social networking site, then you may lose easy contact with them (For example, you may not get the memo when they change their phone number). We can avoid these hurtles, though, if we simply all move over as one group with our families, and as many friends as we can get, and delete our Facebook pages. We will have many people available, and with those many people comes a sort of crowd tech support. When any of us finds a new feature of the new site that we think is useful, share it, and let the rest of us know. So after looking over some stuff, Ive noticed that Google seems to be fairly reputable in this area. When asked to fork over user data to the US government, they said no. When the US government tried to access it anyway by intercepting E-Mails from GMail, they found that GMail encrypts your emails so well that even the US government cant hack them. The US government asked if they would hand over the key to the encryption, and they said no. They sell the public data that you post to Google+, but they dont sell the private data. Ill close this with what drove me to post this. I, like many others, use the Facebook chat app to communicate with people from my phone. I agreed to the EULA without fully reading it, and apparently missed a lot of heavily invasive app options. This is an article about what I missed: huffingtonpost/sam-fiorella/the-insidiousness-of-face_b_4365645.html
