What exactly is Facebook and why I joined Golos

What exactly is Facebook

Facebook is a tool. It's not a place (for it has no physical boundaries), so people aren't on Facebook - they are connected or not. It's a tool that is, apparently, good at building and growing social networks and bonds. It's a tool that is, apparently, good to propagate idea and memes.

It is supposed to be the perfect tool to organize your private life except that it is a lot of thing, except private. Facebook is the biggest database of consumering habits and the biggest maps of social network that have ever existed. It is run by a private corporation whose only goal is to monetize your privacy by selling it to everyone who is willing to pay for it.

Let's be clear about that, Facebook is to freedom what arsenic is to life. Facebook don't want you to leave their pages, they want to know exactly where you're going, who you're talking with and what you're talking about. They want to control what is said, what has been said and they want to keep a log of everything, even if you've deleted it. They even have personal profile and data collections about people who do not even have an account. If,at any time, a form of government asks you to wear a GPS enabled device, to permanently wear a voice recorder, and to asks an ID for everything you're doing (from reading newspaper, to shopping) you will call it a fascist state,but that's why Facebook is doing. They're gathering data about your habits online, and you do not even know what they know about you (also, they also possess all the content you've generated on their websites).

So yes, Facebook is a poison and Golos is freedom and my new home!
