And people will still make excuses for why they need to remain on Facebook: Stay in contact with relatives (because photographs, telephone calls, and letters have become obsolete and services like Skype donโ€™t exist), I curate my feed to keep out political stuff (but Facebook adverts canโ€™t be kept out).

At some point, silence (or excuse making) becomes complicity.

I really do not understand what this huge brouhaha is all about.
Neither Facebook nor Twitter make a dime off of me.
I never click on advertisements in either place, much less even look at them in passing on the rare occasions they show up.

And I still write actual letters that I put in actual envelopes that I stick on an actual postage stamp.
And I have an old fashioned landline and *GASP* make actual telephone calls from time to time.

JFC, the purity tests just get so tiresome.
