To this day, I'm proud to say I have never had a single Facebook account. They even tried spamming me like I did which is weird because I never once entered an email on their website.
I would have more respect for what he was saying if he wasn't acting like a 5 year old. What he's saying is right, and he's got an excellent point, but be a fucking adult.
I've always been very paranoid about facebook and always created an account under a fake email address and used a "fake name" Like my nickname, or my mother's maiden name etc. But then I found out that Facebook created 'shadow profiles' where if your friend has your mobile number in their phone, with your name attached to it, and they have facebook.... they create a shadow profile based on your friend's contact info on you. Say they have your birthday in their phone? Your email address? Facebook has that too. Based off these shadow profiles and the info your friend is blabbing about you (with nice uploaded drunk pics of you), Facebook and whoever else is creating quite the little archive of information on you.
Literally the only reason why I have a facebook account at the minute, is because I'm on Tinder. Once I'm in a relationship, both accounts will be deleted.
....a nd once your facebook shadow account is established. the machine huristics kick in and that insidious little facebook login tracking cookie that is on about 70% or all websites, tracks you, traps your info and updates your shadow profile, so they know far more about you, then just what your friends post....
I don't think you're his target audience. IF he can get simple minded folk to delete their facebook accounts - he can act like a 5 year old all he wants.
Yeah, you have to sign in with your FB account. I tried to sign up with a fake email and it wouldn't let me. They use the pictures you have on your FB profile.
pleased you've said this. i was almost gonna buy a smartphone solely for tinder use, i don't have fb. was getting jealous because some stupid friends suddenly getting laid more than me. thanks you've saved me some hassle.
There are alternative apps that give you the choice of using your facebook account, or using an email address. However they're nowhere near as populated, and are even worse than Tinder for spam bots.

Never used facebook much... Not surprised they went this route though. With this and the TPP, it feels like the whole world is going to shit.
