I Quit Facebook

Just a quick note to say that Atheist Nexus is now my online social networking site because I quit facebook. I just couldn't stand to be a part of them after they caved to islam. My family and friends are mad at me, but I think I'll be ok. I might go through a few withdrawals when I can't read what my sisters horoscope says or how much luck my niece has on her luck meter today. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to take it one day at a time.

The key as always is to be aware of what they do and how they do it.

Only you can protect your information, because no-one will do it for you.

Seriously? Do you have any links?

Comment by amer muhammad on June 9, 2010 at 2:14am: I never used facebook, but one thing I must say "It is not a proper time to quit, one should stand with them at this time for the reason of protecting Freedom of expression".

Comment by Rusty Gunn. on June 9, 2010 at 2:00am: I quit , too many security problems and the muslim thing were enought to push me past my tolerance point.

Comment by Pansy on June 8, 2010 at 7:45pm: i left facebook when i found out they kicked off someone from here for being an atheist..... that was 9 months ago...... i don't miss one second of it

Comment by Olga Spelts (Human Bean) on June 8, 2010 at 7:15pm: Ha I'm the generation thats said to be addicted to Facebook but I quit their site too. It had to do with the realization that alot of time in my life was spent posting on that damned site! When I die, would I regret not posting more inane crap on that stupid site, or would I regret not hiking the beautiful Colorado mountains out my door? If you quit dont be surprised if people think youre mentally ill or depressed. Now any time not used for school I use to blog and I limit that to only an hour a day and only on political issues. No more 5 hours spent aimlessly perusing profiles! YAY!

Comment by VanCity Skeptic on June 7, 2010 at 2:17pm: I read in a news article that Facebook removed the page themselves after Facebook was boycotted and banned from Pakistan by court-order or something.

Comment by ryan cameron on June 7, 2010 at 2:04pm: I thought the everybody draw muhammed day was removed by the people who started the group because the "day" was over. There are quite a few fan pages and groups left with the cartoons. Either way, religion deserves continuous ridicule and scorn by educated, intelligent, and civilized people.

Comment by Prog Rock Girl on June 7, 2010 at 11:37am: Facebook does cave to Islam. I know several people whose profiles were deleted b/c Muslims didnt' like what they had to say. OKcupid has also censored things about Islam, while not censoring the equivalents about Christianity.

Comment by VanCity Skeptic on June 7, 2010 at 11:29am: @Tom Thompson: I assume he means how they removed the "Mohammad Day" facebook group.

@Aaron: Do what you need to do, and good for you for doing it!

Me, I'm hopelessly addicted to facebook.. I hope Atheist Nexus grows bigger though, I find it moves a little slow for me information-wise. I'm used to a much faster paced social network.
