If you live a clean life, you really have nothing to worry about. So what if big business and the US government know stuff about you. Do you really think they're going to use it against you if you don't give them a reason?

My problem is it becomes a "source" to your brain, and interests with $$$ can tap that source, and your only option is to walk away.
You can become part of an experiment, 10,000 people are fed 100% carefully picked negative news into their feed, 10,000 people get only 100% carefully picked positive news into their feed. They watch for how it possibly changes what people are writing about.
Want to be in that negative 10,000? Hiding the friends it "shows it as coming from" won't do anything, unfriending everyone won't do anything, that crap is coming your way to fill your feed.
Maybe I got crapped on extra special by facebook. It wasn't feeding me what I signed up for anymore.
I *do* at times consider rejoining, but the experience I had trying to clean up my feed reminds me not to. I guess I'm just special. Yes, I was always aware of the various tools to control things; they didn't work for me. I felt targeted, and abruptly left the wrong side of the shooting range.
