"My profile didn’t break any rules" "They’re cut off to access to their communities"
It is not your fucking profile. They are not your fucking communities. It has a Facebook logo on top of it, you are publishing for Facebook on behalf of Facebook so that Facebook can profit from it. You are working for Facebook and paying for the privilege with your privacy. It's Facebook's profile about you, and Facebook decides what happens to it.
It all belongs to Facebook because you gave it to them. Just stop fucking doing it.
I'm all in favor of tight government regulation when it comes to consumer protection, privacy and corporations abusing their power, but this kind of idiotic whining about what people do to themselves completely voluntarily just pisses me off.
People deserve to protected against the insidious way in which Facebook c.s. violate people's privacy rights. I understand that people have no idea how and how much info Facebook collects about them, and how much harm that can do.
But if your communication and social life depend on Facebook you're just an idiot who deserves to be made fun of rather than taken seriously and getting portrayed as a victim by the NYT. Being lazy and stupid doesn't make you a victim, no matter how idiotic Facebook's rules are.
