I have a personal profile on Facebook again. It’s been more than two years since that was the case, and the BoWilliams.com page has been gone for almost a year.
Why return? It’s simple, really. When I left, I had significant privacy concerns with Facebook. I still do, but now, they’re just another head on the hydra.
And the hydra having the run of the place is the new normal.
In a world of OPM and BCBS breaches, and with the lines so blurry between faceless megacorps and faceless government bureaucrats, staying off Facebook is like having a 36-oz. porterhouse, but with a light beer because you’re watching your weight.
So, yeah. Back.
