What social media users want

I feel you. I think 1990's was the time for forums and yahoo chat, where you could be anonymous, and find people like you. But with today's social networks in place, the makeshift internet has lost popularity, even among teens with a tough "real life".

Your piece is spot-on to show how deep today's social platform's tracking systems are. Facebook's array of products know who you are.

Still, there's reddit, with it's 100% anonymity, but with a distinct downside that it's made public, for anyone in the world to access, or for any redditor to check your full history — which can lead to undesired consequences for the online life you've built for yourself.
