Facecrook, Gogole, and Shitter are all working with intelligence agencies to leverage their role as mechanisms of communication to become instruments of censorship and repression. This is only the tip of the god damn iceberg in the growth and expansion of artificial intelligence, into a mechanism for police control and unending dictatorship.

Welcome to your New World Order, hippies.

Nobody has been able to convince me that I "need" a Facebook account.

The best they can come up with is: "you can keep in touch with old friends"; or, "you can use it to share photos".

Well, my old friends are old friends for a reason and, I'm not all that interested in seeing your kid's first day at school or what you had for dinner last night.

You dont "need" one . . . . . yet. I read an article a while back about how some prospective employers were asking to see peoples facebook accounts at interviews for jobs. Its illegal ATM but i bet its the future.

I couldnt find the article but heres something else.

Last year, I went and liked as many facebook pages as I could, just so that I could have an endless stream of topics to read. That was the alternative to the 50 friends who would post banal photos of their meals, or what their children did to preoccupy their time.

It was only a month or so ago that I decided to delete most pages from the account and free up what I would see in the timeline. Recently, I decided to add pages that were of educational value, just for motivational purpose.

I figure that my phone and computer must be among the most hacked devices in town today because of my boredom. But then, just having a facebook account is enough to be hacked. Don't worry too much.
