      😱 You shouldn't have to agree to Facebook TOS in order to access information about political reports. In fact, that is a core problem. I've seen examples where schools put *emergency* information on Facebook and people have to agree to FB TOS to learn whether children are safe.https://twitter.com/digiphile/status/999715176785080321 …

      So, @Facebook has a new political ad transparency site https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/05/24/whos-behind-those-political-ads-on-facebook-now-you-can-find-out/ … You can’t get to it unless you’re logged into Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/politicalcontentads … This would be hilariously ironic, if it weren’t for the context.

      For an increasingly broad range of functions, here and around the world, Facebook isn't optional. For the most basic civic, personal, financial and social functions. There isn't a viable alternative, and that's why yet another privacy scandal doesn't budge numbers.

          Does anyone actually read TOS agreements? They are intentionally long-winded and legalistic, and people regard them as bothersome disclaimers. We need TOS reform!

          The amount of legally required public disclosures and news releases happening in the walled garden is definitely more than zero. I liken FB to the radio, if it had been patented by a single company. It's basically a hijacked commons at this point. Such a failure. #deletefb

          This was true from the beginning. In the 80s the newsgroups, discussion forums of yore, where propagated from server to server and accessed with a variety of applications, thanks to common standards. No one had to step on a single platform. Freedom it was

          That’s a very poor argument. You could say the same about coal and guns and we know that isn’t true. It’s very hard to argue for change when you also insist it can’t.

          Also why then aren’t people educating others about the dangers and alternatives? It could simply start with “don’t tie your website/app to a Facebook login”?

          There are lots of viable alternatives for individuall use-cases. Facebook is merely the path of least resistance. (By design)

          I got rid of my personal Facebook and it really helped make it clear just how many things require me to have a Facebook, from apps to news sites, etc., to make use/full use of them. Not even counting how many people only put invites/important info/etc. on FB
