Facebook stops insurance company (https://www.openrightsgroup.org/press/releases/2016/facebook-is-right-to-stop-admiral-insurance-from-using-its-data) from doing what Facebook has patented (http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/09/facebooks-new-patent-and-digital-redlining/407287/)

Question: Why didn’t ORG point this out in their article, where they praise Facebook?

(If you want to see where this is all going, look up Sesame Credit in China.)

@aral Find me a Facebook user that will stop using Facebook after knowing this.

@desikn @aral My sister and her husband both quit facebook over things like this. The problem is that we need to build more alternatives, there are plenty of people who will leave if there is a good alternative. That is one reason mastodon is so wonderful, since it can be a drop-in replacement for twitter.

@inmysocks @aral You had more luck than me. My family doesn't give a shit.

@desikn @aral Yes, I am rather lucky as far as that goes. Also it did take a lot of pushing from me.
