RE: Breaching The Public Trust - Facebook Is The Beginning

in #facebook7 years ago

Facebook, Google and Twitter are the epicenter for The Culture War being foisted on us by the psychotic and the powerful

I just flat out stopped using it all. Deleted Facebook, insta, YouTube, LinkedIn. All of it, absolute waste of time. Human interaction is the next form of social networking. That's the world we live in. There's an expression that "there's no ethical consumption in capitalism", because living in this world requires giving in to systems of control that exploit people. In order to protest social media, we have to use social media. I criticize Google all of the time, but I know that Google is making money off of me using YouTube. And if I gave up YouTube, I wouldn't have access to the media that informs me about how the company behind YouTube is hurting people. Even with trying to move on to better platforms like DTube, it doesn't work if everyone else is still locked in. It's a catch22, but giving up these exploitative systems altogether would just make me a hermit living out in the woods by myself.
