[dba-Tech] Any Way To Escape Facebook?

Hi Arthur:

Everything put on the internet is public. That is its greatest strength and greatest weakness. 

There are going to be huge forces of capital ventures trying to mine virtually unlimited data for financial gain but equally powerful is the social and open source communities. That has always been the way of things and it is not all bad. You just have to dig a little more for the best and just ignore the rest.

Everything is in balance without the bad there could be no good. Don't lose hope spring is coming. :-)

Jim

Subject: [dba-Tech] Any Way To Escape Facebook?

I thought that I had escaped this evil witch, but apparently not. I want to
escape Facebook once and for all and to evaporate all traces that I ever
made the mistake of thinking that this might be interesting. It is NOT
interesting. I want out! I want never to hear another communication from
anything or anyone related to Facebook. I hate this site and everything it
stands for and I want out out out and permanently out. Can anyone tell me
to achivieve this? I have tried various solutions and still I receive crap
from said site. I want to be Gone and never thought of again. Can you
advise how I might achieve this? I'm going insane with crap from Facebook.
Please help me nuke this mofo. This is the worst plague in my life. I HATE
HATE HATE Facebook.

Unless I was unclear, every single thing that Facebook represents is what I
regard as an assault on my privacy and my selected community of equals, and
a bunch more other things. I hate Facebook even more than I hate racist
mofos dedicated to various causes. I think that Facebook is an Evil
creation created by a man with serious social problems, and I want to
remove myself forever from its presence, and that is apparently not a
simple task.

This sickens me. I wish I had the resources to launch a class-action
lawsuit against these people, but I don't. so that's just farting in the
wind. I want a way out of Facebook and every other similar "resource" --
emphasis on the irony -- these fuckers are only interested in exploiiting
the community, and contribute Nothing! Get the fork away from me, all you
bloodsuckers. I want absolutely NO particpation in your ostensible
communities! I want you leeches to be heated with a hot iron and to die and
never again visit my feet.

There is a larger picture here, and it's time that someone talked about it.
I guess that it's up to me. The corporatization of the net is the death of
the net. There. I said it. The net started out as an Information Machine
but it has been co-opted into a marketing machine. This is the most tragic
outcome possible. What began as a machine for democracy has turned into a
marketing machine. What began as "Freedom of Information" has turned into
"Information for Money". This, frankly, makes me puke. I know that I am not
going to win this war; they have drones and other evil weapons against
which I have little or no chance. All I can do is raise a flag and then die
when a drone hits me.

But before the drone hits, I need this to be said. Once upon a time, the
internet promised a democratic future. Unfortunately, the corporations beat
us to the punch. The internet is now owned by them, and it is going to take
a huge rebellion to overcome this.

I don't think that I shall be able to resist the black heliocopters lurking
over my apartment. I think that they are going to win this battle, and that
I shall be dead within this week or this month at best. They are hovering.
This may be my last Send.

If there is any last message that I want to send, it's this:
Please get off Facebook any other similar thing. Get off it right now.
Change all your email addresses etc. and get OFF THE MAP! Do it right
fucking now or suffer the consequences. Trust me, I know what the
consquences are. I have been there and done that, and if you leave one
single trace, I can find you and all your relatves, and if you think for
one minute that is complex, try me. I can fin your second cousin's second
child, in a heartbeat. This has become trivial.

I didn't say I was looking. Far from it. I am not that kind of person, and
I'm confident that most of you listers who know me would attest to that.
But that is not the point. I'm just saying that that everything you share
is a potential liability, which may affect your children, with hideous
outcomes.

I thought that I knew a way to escape Facebook but apparently I was wrong,
because despite my best attempts I still receive mail from this despicable
organization.
