Do I have to have Facebook Account?

[Michael Karner]

No. In fact, you are smart not to have one.

"Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard. Just ask. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS. People just submitted it. I don't know why. They "trust me." Dumb fucks." - Mark Zuckerberg. This is an actual quote which can be found here:

Check out how facebook sells users profiles to wall street for $120 each:

Check out how they changed the terms and service of instagram shortly after buying it:

I especially like this part:

“You agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you."

Also, you do not have the right to stay annonymous on facebook:

"You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission."

Employers also look through facebooks. And if they don't like what they see, they don't have to hire you. Check this out:

Why is there not a social media network that you can pay for a private, annonymous, ad-free experience? I would bet the reason is that your data is worth more to facebook than you could possibly justify paying for. I am 23 and do not have a facebook. I am too smart for that.
