They already syphoned all the private information and stored it in a cloud somewhere besides there are many competitors who would gladly fill that role again. Correct me if i'm wrong please but Facebook did add a new privacy policy that allows you to delete your account permanently only recently and after CA and the memo, did they not? Why was everyone okay with this in the first place? To be honest i wouldn't even be here if it weren't for my old account that i was able to reactivate. ATS demands a Twitter or Facebook account to register now. A little bit strange if you ask me with the conspiracy angle and all. Forcing people to make an account on very questionable social media plattforms to be able to write here is kinda contraproductive to the cause. Don't get me wrong because i still like ATS. It's just an odd observation on my part.

I would certainly agree that romantic love is an essential part of the human experience. Unfortunately it seems to me that probably 10% less every generation will actually experience that.

romantic pursuit, and even a happy ending on the other side

Would many people miss Facebook? Rarely do you see any links to that platform in ATS threads.
Admittedly, I never cross reference my FB life persona with ATS. My FB life is simply to give snapshots and video MSG with family afar. It always stays very positive and upbeat. It is very PC.

What's up with the MSM desperately trying to link Q to PG and spreading disinformation and lies all of a sudden? You can't even freely talk about the suspicious Dentist Offices/Day Care Centers without triggering clueless people and they still dare to downplay it all? Holy f#ck the MSM needs to be cleansed of these people very soon. I'm sick and tired of them yapping there mouth about PG being a hoax. They don't even attempt to investigate that subject thoroughly and to top it all off they are quoting the Fake Q to discredit it further. I'm fueled with rage right now.
Yeah i named them. I'm sick of censoring myself. I know what's going on and there will be a reckoning.
I've reclaimed it and reframed it in the right light, so sweet dreams!
In 2014, Facebook filed a patent application for a technique that employs smartphone data to figure out if two people might know each other. The author, an engineering manager at Facebook named Ben Chen, wrote that it was not merely possible to detect that two smartphones were in the same place at the same time, but that by comparing the accelerometer and gyroscope readings of each phone, the data could identify when people were facing each other or walking together. That way, Facebook could suggest you friend the person you were talking to at a bar last night, and not all the other people there that you chose not to talk to.
Patents filed by Facebook that mention People You May Know show some ingenious methods that Facebook has devised for figuring out that seeming strangers on the network might know each other. One filed in 2015 describes a technique that would connect two people through the camera metadata associated with the photos they uploaded. It might assume two people knew each other if the images they uploaded looked like they were titled in the same series of photos—IMG_4605739.jpg and IMG_4605742, for example—or if lens scratches or dust were detectable in the same spots on the photos, revealing the photos were taken by the same camera.
