Facebook is actually EVIL.

Did you know that a few weeks ago Facebook, with very little warning, changed their policies, so now they actually OWN all of your photos. They can do whatever they want, whenever they want, with every single picture that you or one of your friends uploads. How crazy is that? I mean, I guess that as long as you have nothing to hide, you should have nothing to worry about, but honestly... we shouldn't have to worry about things like that.

Furthermore, think about how much this website controls each of our lives. Now we all have it on our cellphones, whether it's by texting the site, or just by using the internet on our cellphones. This website is actually attached to many of us at the hand. It is certainly attached to most of us at the mind, since it guides our lives in a way that, a few years ago, no one would have thought possible. That may sound silly, to say that "facebook guides our lives;" but, think about it. What's the first thing you do when you get home? For me and for most people I know, it is go to your computer, and check facebook. See if we have any wall posts or photo comments, or anything else. See if your friend played his move in your Scrabble game. You know.

And no matter what Facebook does to anger us, we keep using it. Think about all the changes that have happened, in 2005 Facebook went from a college-only networking site to allowing high school students in. College students eveywhere were enraged. It "took the legitimacy out of it." If they thought that was bad, "legitimacy" was really lost when Facebook decided to open its doors to people everywhere, whether students or otherwise. Back in 2006 it became what many of us called "stalkerbook," with newsfeed tellings us everything that was happening with our friends everywhere. I remember countless counter "groups" trying to convince the creators to go back to how it used to be. And now in the last year or so, it seems like new changes happen every month or so. And I'm talking major changes, in the way things look, things you can do, things you can't do, and things that Facebook can do with YOUR stuff. And how do we react? We make groups.

See what I mean? We're fighting fire with fire. Facebook LOVES it when we create angry groups, threatening to leave the site if they don't undo what they've done. No one's leaving. Facebook knows that. We'll never leave, because we're addicted. We're all stuck in this abusive Facebook relationship, and it's very complicated. Facebook does what it wants, makes us angry, steals our information, gossips about us, does all sorts of heartless, inappropriate things to us. But because we're all addicted to that little rush we get when we see "+ Friend Request!" or "-- wrote on your Wall." We're addicted to feeling like stars, knowing that all of our Facebook "Friends," just as addicted and unable to stop as we are, probably spend countless time staring at our photos or reading our self-descriptions.

I'm an addict. That's the first step, right? I want my life back. I want to quit Facebook.
