      Not true. If you want a social life in many settings; volunteer in orgs; be on social network where relatives are..https://twitter.com/justcallme98/status/770653026134614016 …

      In many parts of the world, Facebook is de facto civil sphere and social space. Yes, the privileged could opt-out and compensate, maybe.

      Without Facebook access, you couldn't participate in many social movements; and you are never going to get all your relatives to switch.

      Sure, if your social network is tech-literate, well-off, don't care much about social change, live in uncensored country.. Don't need FB.

      Network externalities means that using Facebook is not just an individual decision. It's everything and everyone else you're involved in.

      This is triple true for countries where mass media is censored. Facebook (and Twitter) are core to people's access to info and each other.

      If Facebook was like your shirt color, an individual choice, but not a giant global commons that is also a private corp, I wouldn't care.

          Yes, putting information you want to keep private online is a bad idea. A. Very. Bad. Idea.

          The difference is that people pay to buy shirts, pay nothing for FB. Imagine a secure, inexpensive-but-not-free alternative.
