I just got an email from facebook telling me that my time is up and my life history now belongs to them. Or something to the effect.
Well, I have an idea to regain control. It came quite by accident. Someone was off enjoying themselves in a foreign country and wanted to share a view of a landscape. So, she tagged me in an empty picture, knowing that would be the sure way to reach me. Because of that, Facebook has me visiting a country I have never seen.
What would happen if we all began to tag each other into empty photos? Or for that matter, start mistagging ourselves to make it harder to turn our Facebook experiences into some data mining experiment?
Frankly, I like the idea of going around the world without ever having to go through an airport scanner.
