Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now
by Jaron Lanier
"How about 'Behaviors of Users Modified, and Made into an Empire for Rent'? BUMMER."
"The whole purpose of BUMMER is turning you and changes to your behavior into a product. The algorithms fundamentally work to favor platform owners and advertisers, and those parties need abstractions of you in order to manipulate you."
"The business plan of BUMMER is to sneakily take data from you and make money off it. Look at how rich BUMMER companies are and remember that their wealth is made entirely of the data you gave them."
"BUMMER was originally sold as a barter deal. 'Let us spy on you and in return you'll get free services.' This might seem like a reasonable deal in the short term, but in the long term it's terrible."
