Blame yourself – not Facebook

The whole world is jumping up and down blaming Facebook and Cambridge Analytica for collecting data and personal information about them. But do these hundreds of millions of people/idiots admit they are hooked and spend meaningless hours every day sending worthless posts. They cannot wait to tell the world what they are doing practically minute by minute, where they are, what they are eating, and wearing.

Anyone with an ounce of brain can find out everything about them just by reading their posts – and as the FBI admitted a while back already it was the best thing that happened to collecting intelligence and saving money.

There is no free lunch and by having “free” access and use of Facebook these people have made Mark Zuckerberg a multi- billionaire.

He is laughing all the way to the bank – even after his stock took quite a knock after it became public that Facebook’s primary customers are its shareholders and the entities that want its users data – not you or me. Wake up, people, and stop moaning. Jean Michel
