26. That one drives me crazy...

...I am a computer consultant who never joined Facebook. I pleaded with people, friends, customers, almost anyone I could to avoid joining Facebook. I knew early on from studying what was going on with "Zuck and Co" that the probability of a weaponized propaganda platform was extremely high. It was like the gamma knife of advertising.

Not only was the data collection astonishing, but the platform's algorithm was designed to entice the user into an almost hypnotic state of dopamine addiction to the screen. The business model is built on user engagement.

You are the product.

This is true of Google, Twitter, Microsoft Windows 10, and many other "free" services. I admit to using Google a lot but I know the tradeoff I am making.

Facebook however is orders of magnitude more wicked.

Facebook is the most powerful propaganda tool ever invented. People who think they are immune, aren't.

Fuck Zuck...
