Facebook keeps on selling our data long after we're gone. You can quit them but they'll never delete you.

Mark Z made millions by getting people excited at the prospect of having thousands of "friends" they had never (nor would ever) meet in real life. The fact that some of those "friends" were Russian trolls is of no consequence.

I have a friend at work would denounced FB years ago as complete garbage. At the time I thought his reaction to FB was a little over the top (maybe he was just trying to be funny). In retrospect, however, I think he understood the pitfalls of social media better than anyone else.
