I'm not sure if it will be permanent, but after finding that the changes they've made will require me to do a lot of work, and I do mean a lot, for each person on my friends list, I'm not interested. I made a note when I was deactivating my account that when they change it back to how it is, I'll come back. I don't need Facebook, really, but it was a nice little relationship while it lasted.
I'm not the only one who is disappointed by the latest 'improvement' and along with the others who feel the same way I do, I can't understand those who think the new changes are beneficial. Less control over what I am exposed to is not beneficial, at least not in my opinion.
Some of the people who say we just have to go with the flow because we don't pay for the service forget that we users do, in a way, pay for Facebook's operation, through ad revenue. The majority of people who posted about this latest change are not happy. Those that leave might, in the long run, make things better, IF Facebook changes things back. The ones who complain and then stay, I think of them as sheep. Big Brother Facebook says 'here, read this story and that post, and you will be happy, we decide now what you will read, unless you tell us about each individual who posts.'
Another thing I found is that everything you post is ok, it's still public, private, however you set that part up, but when your post hits someone else's page, and their friends who aren't on your list, well, they do get to read your posts, even if they are private. There really is no 'private' any more at Facebook. That, right there, was the last straw with me.
What do you think of Facebook?
