I wanted to buy something second-hand. Unfortunately, Facebook Marketplace is the shit where I live. So I thought I could quickly register, contact the seller, and delete my account afterwards.

However, I refuse to participate in this insanity. Video selfie my ass, Facebook.

    This is not really the invasion of privacy it seems when you compare it to everything else facebook will do with your information.

      That doesn’t make this any better, just makes YOU feel better about it

        I think it’s a good way to remind you right up front when you sign up that this is what you’re signing up for. Honestly if last week I had been asked to choose between a world in which facebook makes its invasiveness painfully clear at signup vs keeps it low-key, I would choose the former.

        I feel bad about everything.
