Facebook & Me
Founded by Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook had a gradual rollout, becoming widely available in 2004. The site now has nearly three billion users and earns revenue by collecting information about each of them. Advertisers can then use that information to better target their ads. Facebook may say the site is free but, users give up personal information to use the platform. TNSTAAFL, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Moving to Alt-Tech
I’ve watched as the posts of conservatives are banned, taken down, fact-checked, or labeled as inaccurate. The wealthy big tech bullies of Facebook have refused to boost many of my posts. I’m certain Twitter has shadow banned me. Meanwhile, those labeled as woke or progressive post vile and violent rants without being censored. At some point, silence and inaction become submission.
