Over the last year, I have stopped using Facebook for the most part as I find the content generated on the platform loud and unproductive. I have yet to delete my Facebook entirely because I still find useful in tracking down a friend every once in awhile. However, I don’t like that Facebook has all this data on me (data since 2008) that it uses to personify me and to sell to advertisers. I recently watched this video from The Wall Street Journal that provides details on how Facebook tracks and serves you advertisements.
