Facebook has become less of a networking tool and more of a pass time. Here are ten reasons why you should delete your Facebook:
10. Facebook’s terms of service are one-sided; The terms only look out for Facebook, they own all of the data that you put on your page.
9. Facebook CEOs have a history of unethical behaviors; If you have ever seen the movie Social Network then you know that the company was based on unethical actions.
8. Facebook has declared war on privacy; People are getting more comfortable with putting up information about themselves on their pages.
7. Facebook is pulling a bait and switch; They are quietly telling users that they are able to access all of the “private” information on their pages.
6. Facebook is a bully; They make default settings something that users wouldn’t really want and you don’t think to go and change them so Facebook is taking advantage of you.
5. Private data is shared through applications; It doesn’t matter if your information is “private” on your page if you use some of the millions of applications your information is shared through the network of the application.
4. Facebook is not technically comptent to be trustworthy; There are many glitches in the program and it is easily hacked which can cause problems with your account.
3. Facebook made it difficult to delete your page; When you try and delete your account not all of your information is always deleted, sometimes the information pertaining to your applications stay online making it Facebook’s property.
2. Facebook doesn’t support the Open Web; It says it is a world wide web network but in reality it only supports other people who have Facebook accounts, there is no search that uses the rest of the internet.
1. The Facebook applications are not a good thing; How many application suggestions have you recieved since you created an account, the countless applications are a waste of time and just fill up your inbox.
All of these are valid reasons to not have a Facebook, although as stated before it is difficult to completley delete a Facebook account it is possible.
