Im surprised facebook was an afterthought for you. I immediately think of facebook whenever i think of bad things involving the internet. Google doesn't even really cross my mind, it's just the most prominent internet thing so of course it's bad in some ways, that's just entropy.


Probably because it's trivial to cut facebook out of your Internet experience. Google,... not so much.


For a long time, I would have agreed... Until my family began to confuse fb messenger with text messaging itself.


It's still easy to cut out of your life. I told my family if they want to reach me they have to use e-mail or the phone. This works surprisingly well.


I've explained how the messenger app isn't the text messaging app (called messages), but the similarity still causes it to happen occasionally.
