Why?
A. Facebook have a bad privacy track record, either it is Facebook Beacon, or the Facebook silently changes it's privacy (The Facebook Great Betrayal)
B. Yesterday, when I logged into Facebook, it keeps asking me to link all my profiles to Pages and website, the interface is designed in a way that it is very difficult to opt-out, and if I choose not to link any pages, it threaten to EMPTY MY PROFILE.
And what if you say yes to the links? It quietly warn you that they are public!
So I decided to empty it myself.
Facebook is not respecting their users, they keep trying to force people to go public with their private profile and personal data.
No! I'm not going to give Facebook another chance, I've enough.
I strongly encourage you to do so, quit Facebook today. Maybe the world will changes so that no one care about privacy and respect their users anymore, might be some day the law-makers will know they should stand and do something. Before that happens, let's try to change the world by market force -- we vote by our foots (or clicks).
