Steve Faguy has a story in today’s Gazette (and more on his blog) about how difficult Facebook makes it for users to extricate themselves from the “social-networking” site. It’s about Montrealer Steven Mansour, who has documented his efforts to delete his personal information from Facebook’s database. Why anybody would put all that personal information on Facebook in the first place, I’ll never understand. Anyway, just more reason to avoid Facebook.
Also today, on Radio-Canada’s Je l’ai vu à la radio, another Montrealer, Jessica Barker, was a guest, talking about how it’s much better to have real friends than Facebook ones. Her $23 “fuck facebook” t-shirts (pictured above) are proving very popular, she says.
