I dont mind a bank, but facecook? The site where people gossip about their travels wants me to download their 500MB app on my phone to verify me in order to post a silly picture on my game’s page. Twitter just banned my crypto-prices bot for the third time. I m not giving them my number again. I give up, this is sillyness, and i notice growing resentment from people too.

On Facebook a single moderately offensive post can lead to burning bridges and angry wives. Social attacks can destroy a person life as much as a bank theft can.
