Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016

Facebook: Unfollow people and pages

See comments section for more up-to-date versions of the script. The original script is from 2014 and will not work as is.

1. Open news feed preferences on your Facebook menu (browser)
2. Click people or pages
3. Scroll down (or click see more) until your full list is loaded
4. Run the script in your browser console

Facebook will block this feature for you while you use it, depending on how much entities you try to unfollow. It automatically unblocks in a couple of hours and you will be able to continue.
