This will be interesting. Due to Facebook's lack of privacy concerns, Leo
Laporte has dedicated his 11:00am hour to trashing Facebook. He has declared
May 31 as Cancel Facebook Day.
For good reason. Facebook's lack of privacy concerns is only part of it.
They're now in the process of taking down every user account of people who
dare to post any critique of Facebook. They've removed the page of KNOI Radio
-- and they're even a Facebook sponsor.
Can Old Tech (radio broadcasting) bring down New Tech? Can Leo succeed in
getting a mass cancellation of Facebook accounts?
Here's the info from Leo's Techguylabs page:
"News Station Facebook Page disabled after critical over Facebook
Texas radio station, KNOI Real Talk 99.7 had their Facebook page disabled and
banned for talking about privacy issues and linking to Leo’s show and
Diaspora.
“Today after posting messages in response to Facebook discussions regarding
Facebook’s new Privacy policies I awoke this morning to find our Facebook page
disabled without explanation.” says station CEO Leo Ashcraft.
Leo is appalled with Facebook’s reaction to this and believes it is an attack
on the free and open nature of the Internet, which he believes is critical to
our nation and the world in general.
Leo has also decided to support May 31st as Quit Facebook Day. And it really
is a shame, because Facebook is a great social network that has it’s
experience marred by it’s tyrannical business attitude.
