Normally I'm in favor of the "don't use it, then" approach. But it doesn't work with Facebook, because you're on it whether you want to be or not. Even if you've studiously avoided using it, you most likely have friends who use it and have given Facebook enough knowledge to identify and track you.

True story. I created FB account in 2012 - when I needed to log in so I could access their API documentation.

And what did I find? There was a 90% complete profile waiting for me. All my friends were already lined up, my personal data was already there, my photos were already there.

And thus I learned to love the Big Brother.

You should have learned to fear and try to fight him.

As a EU infidel, chances of me getting NSA to delete and stop collecting my dick pics is about nil for foreseeable future.

Thus I will proceed with activities more fruitful than trying to fight the windmills.

That makes a great bookmarklet, thanks!

> I don't like facebook either, but can't we just not use something without making a huge sensational scene about it?

We are social creatures who could never survive alone without communicating information about how to interact with our environment. Cyberspace is now our environment.

Even that crazy Luddite in a cabin in the woods learned to skin a deer from his Grandpaw.
