    It’s still important for people to have access to used goods and Facebook is one of a few platforms that provides that for free and has a large enough user base that you can find what you need.

        Facebook isn’t in contract to track citizens for cops. It does so digitally for ad agencies, but not physically for the police.

        The difference is pretty stark and as bad as giving your data to Facebook is, Flock is an immediate threat that we can see and interact with. There are no Facebook street cameras capturing license plates.

          wait… you really think facebook only tracks for ad companies? i mean cambridge analytica is a huge welk known scandal.

          your i fo is going tk i surance companies, governments, credit card companies. they track every action you do, even if you dont have an account… https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/shadow-profiles-facebook-has-information-you-didnt-hand-over/

          did you really think people hate favebook that much because they track for advetisers?

            You can’t even acknowledge that Flock sends police to people’s houses as a business model and lets them be stalked by law enforcement?

            Facebook’s business model is also bad, but every time I mention the company the post is about, you change goalposts. Facebook is optional.

            Flock can’t be opted out of and has to be actively protested. You have to voice your concern at town hall to stop Flock.
