It was Harvard to start. If you wanted to be in the club, you had to have a Harvard email address. Then it was ivy leagues, then any college, then any country. They made it really hard for people to leave because it became such a part of people's life. Photos, friends, lost connections, relationships, history... now it is just a place were genx posts pictures of frenchies and taco Tuesday.

I guess I am just used to being away from the platform. Every time someone tells me to check their business on Facebook I tell them "Unfortunately I can't go to your website because Facebook has banned me for thinking incorrectly. Please consider setting up your own website so everyone can access it." Half the time in libtown they look at me like I am the evil one.

To worry about what other people have going on, to make it sound like they have something going on themselves.

Because at the time it was innocuous as Myspace, to put it into perspective, there was no concept of data harvesting and loss of privacy. I used it briefly and then stopped when I realized that people were taking the time and effort to like and subscribe to COMPANIES just so they can get advertised to. It sounded retarded, so I unplugged ASAP.
This was also an era where Web 2.0 was just starting and most people were not that into tech at the time. As such, these social media sites became the perfect haven for diddling children, since it seemed there was article after article of kids getting raped with no end in sight.
Now a days everyone and everything is connected and there is enough accessibility of information to see how dangerous these sites are.
And not everyone is completely redpilled on the matter so you have many people to this day gleefully subscribing their information and freedom to these platforms.

It's happening again. Almost if not all public high schools are required to have a GMAIL account and Google account for Google Docs.

Google is the new dictionary, too.
Most words have been altered.
