#DeleteFacebook trends in response to Cambridge Analytica

We all moved on from MySpace. We can move on from Facebook too." This was a typical message found on Twitter in the wake of accusations over Cambridge Analytica using personal data from 50 million Facebook users to influence the US presidential election in 2016. After reports of Cambridge Analytica using Facebook's user information came to light, people began to urge others to either #DeleteFacebook or #BoycottFacebook in response.

[...] A spokeswoman for Privacy International warned that privacy concerns extend beyond Facebook as "your data is being exploited all the time". A person on the technology subsection of Reddit agreed, saying removing Facebook "doesn't solve the long term problem [because] consent to data use is very weakly protected online right now". And one Twitter user seeking regulation of Facebook said having the ability to delete an account is "a privilege".

This is a campaign we can all get behind, regardless of your position on election interference and influences.

    Only the quiet sound of fermented semen byproduct exiting a loose asshole, like the wind whistling through the hills, can be heard.

    So you made me curious. (quick googling) Yes semen can be fermented [madsci.org]. And apparently semen infused beer is a hit. [bustle.com]

      It's a common practice among the homosexual community. The bottoms get their asses "filled" and then start an anorexic episode so it stays in their colon. Then, after it's "ripe," the top puts his nose up to the bottom's hole and the bottom "lets it rip." In my honest opinion, it just seems like the homo community's way of not being seen degenerates for liking jenkem.

        Fascinating. You seem to know a tremendous amount about the practices of gay men. How is this the case?

          Back when I was in an all boy's Catholic high school, it was do or die. You either fucked with people or got fucked yourself. One of the more extreme hazing practices was a modified sour cream pie (aforementioned act), where you're forced to carry it around for a set amount of time. If at the "proving period" (where you would lean upside down against where the wall connected to the floor, head facing up, ass parallel, then you'd have to catch the drops -- freshies would forget to not eat and what they got weren't drops -- with your tongue) you couldn't produce, you'd get gypsy whipped (potato in a tube-sock). Sharpie rapes were still popular when I was in school, I even used it often as threat to get free lunch money from a jew in my class. Slop bucket was still around, where a bunch of guys shit, pissed, and came into a bucket and some poor "piggie" (fat and short kid that didn't belong to any group) had to drink all of it.

          They were definitely on the extreme side of "gay hazing," but it was what it was.
