#deletefacebook
&gt; None of that will happen<p>Why not? My grandparents love looking through old photo albums. I don&#x27;t see why I couldn&#x27;t do the same with Facebook.<p>&gt; It’s an advertiser’s dream and it is wildly expensive in terms of privacy lost and cash spent to steal that privacy.<p>A few problems with this. Op dates users freely gave away their data, but now advertisers are stealing it?<p>The same sentence can be said about the internet as a whole - but most people believe the benefits are worth it and op hasn&#x27;t proved we don&#x27;t get benefits from Facebook.<p>Lastly.. the article assumes allowing advertisers to use your data is inherently evil. I&#x27;m not arguing either way, but it&#x27;s never explained. Lots of people believe that to be true, but I don&#x27;t think you can just call advertisers &quot;the devil&quot; without an explanation. Why is op harmed by data collection (outside of nonsensical hypthotheticals, like getting his house robbed when he posts that he&#x27;s on vacation?)
