    Yeah, that is the deal when you use a free service, you are selling your information in exchange for acces to a service.

    That being said, non facebook users are also tracked by thousands of companies.

      Not always. Only for-profit driven companies that offer no tangible product.

      Many of the forums that I hosted were free to the orgs that used them. I’m already paying for the server and network for my own use, so why not give back to the communities that I am a part of with my other skills as a sysadmin?
