Facebook needs to die
Facebook has gone rogue, drunk on founder Mark Zuckerberg’s dreams of world domination. It’s time the rest of the web ecosystem recognizes this and works to replace it with something open and distributed.
Facebook used to be a place to share photos and thoughts with friends and family and maybe play a few stupid games that let you pretend you were a mafia don or a homesteader. It became a very useful way to connect with your friends, long-lost friends and family members. Even if you didn’t really want to keep up with them.
Facebook "a minefield of privacy invasion"
Facebook is the focus of a new complaint in Canada over its privacy policies and practices. The Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic
(CIPPIC) filed the complaint this morning, asking the Privacy
Commissioner of Canada to review what the CIPPIC believes are various
violations of Canadian privacy law. There are 22 violations in all,
says CIPPIC, making Facebook "a minefield of privacy invasion."
