A delete-your-Facebook campaign slated for May 31 is unfolding. I've toyed with quitting Facebook, but that's all. I use it mostly to repost tweets from Twitter, and since Twitter doesn't actually support conversation, to accept replies and talk about my tweets. I'm less concerned than others about Facebook's lack of privacy because I know that my privacy has been systematically and massively violated for years with government consent and compliance - read about Equifax, for example. (It's a bit like net neutrality, which I've been completely rethinking since learning about Akamai - it's not that it's not a good idea, it's that it's already been so hopelessly compromised that it might not be reparable).
