10 Reasons to Quit Facebook

(Image used under: Creative Commons 2.0 [SRC])

This is awesome:

10. Facebook terms of service are completely one-sided
9. Facebook's CEO has a history of unethical behavoir
8. Facebook has flat-out declared a war on privacy
7. Facebook is pulling a classic bait and switch
6. Facebook is a bully
5. Even your private data is shared with applications
4. Facebook is not technically competent enough to be trusted
3. Facebook makes it incredibly difficult to delete your account
2. Facebook doesn't really support the open web
1. The Facebook application itself sucks

I agree so much with this. Facebook is trying to become the only provider and replace the open Internet much like AOL back in the day. I have long objected to their practices and privacy issues as well as their technical and security flaws. It would be nice if they could make moves in the right direction and become a more ethical business since the idea has a lot of potential if used properly.

The problem is I just don't see that happening. Until then, you may want to reconsider being a part of the system…just be careful when you do quit that you don't end up like this guy:

Use a software firewall to detect bad code on your computer when it tries to connect to the Internet.
Always keep your system up to date with security patches or none of the rest of your security software will matter.
