 I guess the New York Times has decided to get back to doing some news after the blowback from the "fake news" meme has swept the land. A positive development if it continues and becomes apolitical. They came out with this story about facebook: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/technology/facebook-privacy.html You should read it. But if you don't, here's the TL;DR - facebook has been selling off your info to all kinds of 3rd parties even after it said it wouldn't (insert shocked emoji here) including your connections and private messages. # What To Do About It Stop using facebook! You don't even have to delete your account. Just stop selling yourself to them. Because that is what you are doing by using the platform - selling every bit of info you add to the system. Every advertiser and manipulator of data out there is using facebook's information. So if you stop feeding the beast, the business model dies. It's been said before in many forms, but it bears repeating: If you are not sure who the sucker is, it's you! This is why I like STEEM. It's uncensorable and the cost of the platform is the inflation you pay which you can get a part of. # But All My Friends?! Get them to stop using facebook too. Support people and their businesses who aren't actively betraying you.
