RE: Google: Facebook is becoming 'a closed walled garden'

voddiemonster 23rd Sep

I am leaving facebook due to the new up dates and the total lack of privacy it now has. I do not want to know or see posts, status updates and pictures and the comments added to them from people not on my friends list just because one of my friends has chosen to like or comment on these. What is even more disturbing is as soon as i can see these posts not only do i see that MY friend has liked it or commented on it but i can also see every single comment added to that post/status/photo by their friends...so i get to see lots of different people I DONT KNOW I also have two teenagers who use facebook who i am asking to open google + accounts as well as myself because i worry about their safety. Facebook may think its moving with the times but no one wants to know EVERYTHING their friends are doing and we dont want it thrown into our face in big print on the so call new NEWS FEED either. That was the last straw for me and for ALOT of my friends on my list too. They say we all make complaints when ever there is any changes. Well yes we may not like all the changes and we may have put up with them in the past and got used to them but i will never get used to having strangers status updates and posts plastered over my feed and in my face. We have a FRIENDS LIST for a reason. I am soon to be gone once i have transferred all my photo albums over, alot of my friends have also joined google + too and they were the only reason i log in. Not because of the new high tech idea Facebook could offer. Facebook didnt have competition before, there was no where else for us to go...but THERE IS NOW
