“Being a Facebook ‘Lab Rat’ Is The Tradeoff We’ve Made”
Maybe *you have" been made a lab rat TPM, but I have not. I have never used Facebook. Never joined or even so much as looked at a page of it. That goes for twitter as well. I email and I fool around with this laptop and I strongly support TPM as a member of Prime BUT. I draw the line at Facebook. When I was a member at Huffington Post prior to last December I did there what I do here…comment. But when HuffPost demanded I join FB and prove my humanity thereby I said NOPE! I have seen my wife’s experience on FB and I want NO part of it.
I also will not use Gmail. I get my email account for free as a retired person. It’s a benefit of where I worked.

What kind of toolbag uses an opinion piece about facebook to brag about his totally awesome trip to Germany? Is Josh trying to lube us up for a Tom Friedman guest piece?

My brother-in-law puts it more succinctly: “Why do you think Facebook/Google/etc is free? You are not the customer. You are the product.”
