But you would probably protest that there are many useful things you need a computer for -- and some of them might not be strictly necessary to your life, or strictly require a computer to do, but the convenience and satisfaction it would bring make it worth having one.&lt;p&gt;In other words, don&apos;t throw out the baby with the bathwater, right? Same thing applies for most people and their Facebook account. So your only argument here is to convince people that they don&apos;t draw as much satisfaction from Facebook as they think they do, or that they don&apos;t need an account for the reasons they think they do.&lt;p&gt;Which might be true, but quite simply, people want not merely to survive but to thrive.&lt;p&gt;Edit: and also, you are in the unenviable position of arguing with people about what they feel, which means you are wrong.</text><parent_chain><item><author>wmeredith</author><text>&amp;#62;&amp;#62; This has to stop.

While Nest certainly shared blame in choosing FB as their partner in advertising, I think the real problem is the FB only cares about advertising.&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m amazed at the number of people that I hear complain about this stuff and yet keep using FB as if it is essential. For instance, add your cell # to your account to confirm developer status and then turn off notices. You will still receive texts from FB because they don&apos;t give a damn.&lt;p&gt;For the life of me, why people willingly give so much of their information to a company who clearly does not care about privacy is beyond me.</text><parent_chain><item><author>wmeredith</author><text>&amp;#62;&amp;#62; This has to stop.
