    I liked my father's slant on this: anything advertised on TV, he won't buy.

    Course, he does have Colgate toothpaste, and a Hundai, and that cool iphone6 and ...

    We are all entranced and there is no foolproof defense against it.

    By the way, this same technique could be used in a positive sense, say by telling everyone, every twelve minutes when they interrupt your favorite show for the umpteenth time, to do a kind act for a stranger or to remind you that you vote once every four years for a leader but you vote your approval for those megalomaniacs behind our corporations every time you spend money on the next useless trinket.

    All our souls are already sold by proxy and without our direct consent.

    It's the AI beast of volunteered non-privacy.

    Think "Cyberdyne" aka Terminator type against disadents or rebels/protestors.

    What would you guess the percentage of non-facebook users are on Avalon? Possibly a fair amount considering how many do use it worldwide. Finding the reasons why they don't would be interesting though... it might be narrowed down to just a few reasons...

    There are ways to avert FB's agenda and still use the format, such as Facebook Purity
    http://www.fbpurity.com/
    As for my reasons for having a FB page, it's the easiest way to stay in touch locally.
    Each breath a gift...

    2016: the year Facebook became the bad guy
    This year has revealed how difficult it is for the social network to ‘make the world more open and connected’ when the decisions it makes can be so divisive


    Mark Zuckerberg started 2016 with a cookie cutter message of hope. “As the world faces new challenges and opportunities, may we all find the courage to keep making progress and making all our days count,” he wrote on his Facebook wall on 1 January. He and his wife, Priscilla Chan, had just had their daughter, Max, and had been sharing warm and fuzzy photos of gingerbread houses and their dreadlocked dog Beast over the holiday season.

    Then 2016 happened. As the year unfurled, Facebook had to deal with a string of controversies and blunders, not limited to: being accused of imperialism in India, censorship of historical photos, and livestreaming footage of human rights violations. Not to mention misreported advertising metrics and the increasingly desperate cloning of rival Snapchat’s core features. Things came to a head in November, when the social network was accused of influencing the US presidential election through politically polarized filter bubbles and a failure to tackle the spread of misinformation. The icing on the already unpalatable cake was Pope Francis last week declaring that fake news is a sin.

    The comments are very telling.
