Megathread of Facebook's terrible, horrible, no-good eternity

Monday January 28, 2019. 06:01 PM , from BoingBoing
Bruce Sterling's All Things Facebook is a massive linkdump of the latest-and-greatest reasons to delete Facebook (and possibly put Zuck and Sandberg on trial for crimes against humanity). This morning's post on Facebook's tracking of non-Facebook users on Android came from here.

Some highlights:

* Facebook is the new crapware [Natasha Lomas/Techcrunch]: 'Crapware is named crapware for a reason. Having paid to own hardware, why should people be forever saddled with unwanted software, stub or otherwise?'

* Technological Sovereignty, Vol. 2: ' This book deals with its psychological, social, political, ecological and economic costs while it relates experiences to create Technological Sovereignty.'

* What 284 Days Without Facebook Feels Like (Pure. F*cking. Joy) [Jonathan Greene/Uncalendared] 'What I Miss About Facebook? Nothing. Even on the rare occasion when I saw an update that made me happy, that joy was continually outweighed by the deluge of trash sent my way.'

* The fall of Facebook has only begun. [13D Research/Medium]: 'The market is drastically underestimating the peril the company is in.'

* Walt Mossberg, Veteran Technology Journalist, Quits Facebook [Daniel Victor/New York Times] 'I am doing this ā€” after being on Facebook for nearly 12 years ā€” because my own values and the policies and actions of Facebook have diverged to the point where Iā€™m no longer comfortable here.'

There's so much more, though.
