I can understand people wanting to keep up with friends and family, but look at what doing that supports. Maybe those wanting to keep up with friends and family while not supporting the garbage that populates Facebook, should do a mass exodus from the site. Let Facebook feel some pain in the pocketbook, and maybe they'll clean up their shit. If they become a responsible company, then consider joining again.
