My Experience with the Fuhrer, uh... Facebook
This is my first official post for Gestaponet. I had to learn the hard way that at the end of the day, the Elite (those that control the flow of money, power and information ) control everything. Got a taste of this when Facebook showed their other face (some call it something else ) and without warning disabled my account. Here is a complaint I wrote to pissed customer dot com:
"I was a Facebook user for 3+ years. Added friends that knew me with
no problems. Added suitable content with no problems. Always gave
credit to other works posted that were not mine. Never friended someone I
did not know or did not know me. Always joined groups by request only. Suddenly without
warning, my account was disabled by them , no email, no explanation.
Good thing I did not place all my eggs in this basket, as that would
have really sucked. Good things there are other social media sites that
protect your privacy better than them ( These folks want your personal
info to re-enable your account.) I did not need to release my personal
info when I signed up with them 3 years ago, so please tell me WHY ARE THEY ASKING FOR IT NOW !!!! Can't appeal as I don't know what rules I
broke. Looking forward to a reply from Facebook which I probably won't
get.
There are no clean words that can describe my disdain for these folks right now."
Although crude, I am going use this blog as as way to control my content. It seems like Google might not be as Orwellian as FB when it comes to using a free and open Internet. FB can can do whatever it wants. Good thing I had my friends send me post via emails ( which is also on google btw ) I will be contacting you shortly . I could be bitter about this but these guys are not even worth my time and energy. If you are a user on Facebook please do the following
1) Find a way to back up your profile info and friend list ( you WILL regret it if you don't )
2) archive ALL photos and video and THEN DELETE ALL you can from their servers (do it slowly ) and link your stuff to Dropbox or other cloud account
3) If you can live w/o Facebook please do as they are asking for way too much private info claiming that your identity is safe with them. BULLSHIT !!!
Why would I give my info to a third party for safe keeping if I can do a better job
by not giving them anything ?????
4) find another social media site that does have 1984 in its reading list.
here is a complete list here

I am going to use google+ myself and see how it works out.
You have been warned
