I'm an American but even I know your in the minority with that opinion. You tell everyone in the EU to throw away their iPhone and delete their Facebook, I'm sure it's gonna be really easy to convince your EU friends. I have a little respect for Apple, not a lot of companies will psudo stand up to the US government after the Boston Bomber on privacy grounds, even if it was just for show.
Bruh 2 days without Facebook in the states and people's mental state drastically improves. There will be some that are really mad about it but the ones that aren't will find an elated sense of catharsis
No, if you take way facebook those people will move to either reddit on the left or /pol/ on the right. At least /pol/ takes some critical thinking skills to get to so the trolls there have to do something half smart, reddit is just an echo chamber. I'll take Facebook grannies over either though.
Are you really saying Facebook is better then reddit and 4chan?
Depends on the board, yeah probably better than some of the chans, reddit, hands down Facebook is better. At least most Facebook people don't pretend to hide behind psudo anonymity and I can see most of my Facebook friends in real life if I want to.
You would be surprised on how Europeans can adapt to that very quickly. If you take Apple out of the European market sure it will cause some fuss, with time we adapt.
