Face Book just hammered me (for the first time in years) for requesting something less than 10

[DeSwiss]

40. If you're a blouse, you don't say a word.....

...if you're a pair of hiking boots, you remain mute. At FacePlant you are a demographic subset information unit -- a biological product assessment module who provides a service by allowing everything you say and do online within the confines of the FacePlant environment to be read, assessed and categorized by others, freely I might add, so that this ''activity information'' (which is viewed as valuable for some reason), can be sold to those willing to part with cash for it. Said products who don't achieve algorithmically derived points of interest or saleability in various categories, lose the best shelf space. Thus, your hammering I presume.

- While corporations are people too my friend, not so products.......

''Ask yourself who is paying for Facebook. Usually the people who are paying are the customers. Advertisers are the ones who are paying. If you don’t know who the customer of the product you are using is, you don’t know what the product is for. We are not the customers of Facebook, we are the product. Facebook is selling us to advertisers. You are Facebook’s product, not customer. Break away, it feels real good without the white noise and the selling of your personal information.''
