" To Facebook or Not to Facebook"

I usually log onto my Facebook account worry-free. I mean it has always had privacy settings available for the user that's supposed to give us control over our profile, right? Isn't that supposed to comfort us? Apparently that's all it really does. Facebook has given us the impression that  we have control over our settings and users that can view our profile. However, they happen to exclude the fact that they are like our own personal virus/hacker that explores all of our account and exploits the users.It's no longer the friendly network of connections with the friends once it starts being manipulated by a machine.
They are detecting what we 'like" and expect to make a comfortable environment for us to agree and deceive us of the reality. In the real world, we won't all see eye-to-eye. Instead we will debate, argue, and have plenty disagreements on our points of view. This molded world that's constructed to fit our personal character is giving us the wrong impressions that will only ultimately backfire on all the users who are vulnerable to the Facebook corporation. Being gullible can be the weakness least fit to survive in the world of Facebook.
My opinion changed dramatically after having read the article, "Why Facebook is After Your Kids". They gave us numbers and ages which gives the full effect of what really is going on and to what extremes it has gotten to. Now I see that we are seen as an object in the eyes of  Facebook. We're being sold as if we were any possession that has a price to it.
