Facebook: [Has always been a surveillance apparatus intent on exploiting users]
Facebook: [Does what it does]
Everybody: [Continues to pour money and information into facebook ‘because’]
Me: Maybe in a few MORE DECADES people will wake up!
Everybody: [Does not wake up]
Didn't Facebook show their true colours with surveillance and right wing content a few years after they started?
The very concept itself is insane. Give us your real name, we own your data, etc etc.
Zuckerberg: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuckerberg: Just ask
Zuckerberg: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

But, I'm probably the weird one looking like im putting tinfoil on my windows and head to the average person.
Right right, if by "everybody" you mean "definitely not everybody".
