Facebook an emergency and hate relationship

His deletion has become another "diet since Monday." Logically, everyone knows that they should leave her terribly aggressive service Mark Zuckerberg, which gathers incredible data volumes, but no one does.

Despite the scandals, for example the Cambridge Analytica scandal with its geopolitical significance and the breaches that affected 29 accounts no one thinks of leaving the service. Although many are looking at it, no one can press that blue button that says “Delete Account".

The reason or the excuse is a little cliché: no one wants to delete his memories.

Facebook

Facebook has collected for everyone personally (and from a very young age) memories. The period in , το πανεπιστήμιο, τον στρατό, viral , bad and good times, weddings, love baptisms, graduations, the first car, the first child, All life, minor and adult, organized digitally.

Years later, and although Facebook has shown that it is not worthy of our confidence, this core is still the strongest element.

Many of you have thought about leaving. Facebook seems to make it easy for you to download your data. However, thousands of strange photos that you did not upload but were tagged will not come down.

The download process of your account will give you a ZIP file containing HTML files of all your data and a folder containing thousands of untagged images. Yes the tags have a peculiarity. Link everything you have stored with one endless information network and other people. There is probably the real value that makes the data you stored on your hard drive so inanimate.

The web of information that Facebook constructs with your memories and your photos offers a surprising context that can be taken for granted, but isn't. You can personify that it's a useless service, but the digital book is amazingly powerful. There are and my grandparents have countless photo albums filled with pictures of friends whose names they no longer remember. Facebook's photo tagging system means that each photo contains a link to the person's profile and in most cases they can see more details.

But all this information that gives meaning to the data is exactly what feeds Facebook's strong advertising network. It connects advertisers with everyone's personal story, with our locations, events, and any personal information we've given to share with our friends. None of us has chosen to share it with advertisers if the terms of use of the service mention it.

There is no doubt that too many people still use Facebook as a healthy social network on a daily basis.

The strength of Facebook is its ability to transform life's events into memories.

If you download your photos from the Facebook network, can you get away? Unknown and no one can guarantee it. The data has been shifted from one network to another, and this may be the update via Facebook, because we are not only exposed to Facebook.

However, for those who are worried not to lose their memories, memories survive and have survived even without cameras. Facebook's strength as a service is that as you use it organizes and categorizes your life, transforming life events into memories. Withdrawing from Facebook means you have to give up this convenience.

I think no one has forgotten how to keep his memories.
