A bit of history

So... I started this blog to get away from Facebook. Zuckerberg has openly laughed at people for being on FB and 'trusting' him with their information. Opting OUT options instead of the choice being with the user was strike one. You know, the background changes that are made then introduced with fuckall fanfare, with 17 clicks to get to the information you want. When you get there, it's couched in mealy-mouthed language and designed to make it too much trouble to change. The privacy tweaking, and 'choice' to be linked to even more sites through FB, letting your friends know where you are on the web at any given time. Do I *want* you stalking me? Knowing when I fart in cyberspace?

I used to play one game on FB. Zuckerberg is pissed that people are enhancing their game (buying add-ons etc) through the game itself. From today, you have to pay through FB, so this greedy little parvenu can make even more money and get a cut. I'd rather leave than pay that prick anything...

I find the concept of people with billions and billions wanting more obscene; how many cars can you drive at once? How many clothes can you wear at a time? The disease is MORE. The cure is ENOUGH. Symptomatic of what's wrong worldwide; money has become the god of choice. Strike two!

Facial recognition software was strike three (and I'm out!). Hearing of people whose photos have been automatically tagged, with the wrong tag, I might add, because their children are so similar. No thank you! How long before he turns that over to authorities? How long before enforcement agencies are given access, rather than having to just trawl through? If they haven't already, I know, I'm an optimist...

So here's a public blog you can keep up with me on :)

Watch this space for comments on what's going on, and some of the exploits a single conscious person gets up to.

Amazing.
