To Delete Facebook or Not to Delete Facebook? That Is Not the Question
How is that not the question? Do you believe Facebook violated their users privacy rights? Do you believe in accountability? Then the question is why not delete facebook?<p>If you hold facebook accountable, then you send a message: users DO value privacy, and any platform that abuses the privilege may find themselves with far fewer users and a less profitable product. Don&#x27;t hold them accountable, and you&#x27;ll get a sorry note from Zuckerberg, and he&#x27;ll violate it later when you aren&#x27;t looking.<p>In fact, this article raises another question: how much does the EFF value privacy? Apparently violators just need to say &quot;I&#x27;m sorry&quot; and continue what they were doing, and the EFF will argue on their behalf that the benefits of their service outweigh the cost of your lost privacy.
