- <p>
- The everlasting need to connect with people, talk, share and live
- makes humans invent new technologies. I felt the need for friendship
- and love just like everybody else. When I was in college, I felt the
- need for social networking. I chose to use Facebook for connecting
- with friends, follow celebrities, sports, movies and games. I thought Facebook could solve
- my problem of friendship and love. I started using FB for every other
- need of mine. To follow news about my favorite football club, follow
- the developments of a game to be released, debate with people on
- controversial topics, stalk hot girls, check out new music videos and
- movie trailers. Every college trip memory was captured through photos
- shared on FB. I still couldn't figure out what was FB getting out of
- this by providing gratis service to users like me. I never understood
- how the advertisements of FB were targeted towards me and how they
- made me buy things that perhaps I never wanted in the first place. FB
- secretly craved for my attention. The more time I spent on it, the
- more FB gained. The notifications were the distraction that kept me
- away from what I was otherwise supposed to do. The deep abuse of my
- psychology for material gain was what FB was instrumental in doing. The
- clever design of UI and notifications made me hook up to the features
- of FB. "Somebody likes your post", "Two people liked your post",
- "You have a new friend request", and so on. These emails used pop-up
- in my inbox or even as notifications on my phone (if I had the
- Facebook app installed). Notifications only give hints, they'll create
- this secret urge to go and unravel the mystery. It's like a
- rabbit-hole. The more you keep looking, the deeper you go. In fact
- every other app tries to achieve the same thing. All they care about
- is the attention span of the user. Users themselves are the
- products. Think about this - "If you want ad-free service: <i>pay
- us</i>". Facebook should do the same. I will pay for a subscription for
- using FB, please don't burden with your ads. It isn't just about ads,
- it also has do with the immense data mining that happens with user's
- profile. The facial recognition used by FB to uniquely identify users
- in their photos and link it with their appearances in other('s)
- photos could be dangerous. It's an ethical issue, do people need to be
- identified in such an elaborate way? Why is identity such a big thing?
- With identity comes identity politics, is that what FB has been
- instrumental in? The answer seems to be a strong 'Yes'. Companies such
- as Cambridge Analytica are built on FB's data. They use it to
- manipulate elections, rig them, and so on. No one has a clue what
- happened. It is just out there - people get conditioned and biases are
- manufactured.
