Actually not true. Once you build your farcebook profile up, they will still datamine and use the accumulated data to expand your profile for advertisement purposes.

The only thing better would have been if they actually charged people for using the site.

Lol, I remember in the earlier years there were rumors floating around that membership would soon cost money. It could've been just rumors, but I remember people were talking about it like crazy.

Me neither. I started one up with Archie Bunker's pic called Archibald Bunker and got to call about 3 people meatheads before I got turfed lol But yeah, once you've built it up, you can never really delete it.

It’s a publicly traded company, therefore it is not a private company as you said.

Didn't the government funnel millions into it or was that just twitter?

Beats the daylights out of me, Sydney. And Rebarcadman, I didn't know that's how it worked. I meant private as in "not government."

This is about people who are getting extremely upset that Facebook bans whatever content they want, yet they still use it because.... ??? I dunno. This is why I'm saying, if they don't want it, it's not a mandatory thing. There was such a thing as life before Facebook.

They may be private companies, but they have opened themselves up as public forums, therefore the first amendment applies, the same way it does when any private business opens its building to a public debate for a night.

Hey, I'm just saying. I've heard a lot of complaints by people who also say, "If you don't like it, don't participate in it." I understand it's hard to leave; I had a couple of withdrawls myself when I quit. And this was BEFORE all this censorship began!

Nah, I've never once used Twitter, and I only use FB for private messaging and a private meme group page.
