With all the news about facebook recently I decided to do a \u201cData Download\u201d of my content from there. \u00a0People have reported all the terrible and invasive things they\u2019ve found there, but my experience was a little different. \u00a0There were no surprises other than a couple Likes that I don\u2019t remember doing. Of course, this isn\u2019t the really scary stuff about societal engineering and deep tracking, but it was no more or less than I expected from the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing I did note was that there wasn\u2019t a lot there. \u00a0The photos took up a few megs but I was able to review the rest of the text in a few minutes. \u00a0I don\u2019t post a lot directly to facebook and most of my online presence is in my blog or my tumblr – or, rarely, my twitter of Haiku’s.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d miss the connections I have with my friends and family, but I wouldn\u2019t miss the ads and politics. \u00a0Most of the time I\u2019m on Facebook I feel like I\u2019m reading People magazine – pretty pictures, but not very filling. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, for now, I\u2019m still going to be inherently cautious about what I post on Facebook – and more cautious believing what I see there.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
