No, it is NOT easy. They are addicted and addiction is very difficult to overcome and addicted personalities have to be forever vigilant so they don't become addicted to something else after mastering their current addiction.

Then there are those who are on Facebook only because they don't have the courage to tell friends and family to f**k off about them not being on Facebook (or leaving it) and they are afraid to confront family and friends with their addiction so they take the easy way out which is have a Facebook account and try to make it as limited as possible. You can't do that though. You really should not use the Internet at all for social connections. You will always get screwed if you do that.

There are also those on Facebook because that seems to be the only way to get the attention of many businesses these days. That is REALLY SCARY. I was just told, from Samsung that if I want support from them that I must use Twitter or Facebook as email support goes unnoticed and support at boards also goes unnoticed generally. That is utter crap and the kind of thing that happens when there is mass addiction to something.

Further, how do you know Facebook cookies are not some type of Supercookies that can't be "deleted"?

So someone else finally noticed about businesses. Samsung, Truphone and a couple of others do the same. I have everything set to friends and private. I have 2 former co-workers that I miss.
The rest of my family either isn't interested or not computer literate.
Some had no idea who I was until I posted a pic of my Snowshoe cat.

Well yes, the biggest problems seems to be able to engage people with all the unanswered questions.
Such as:
Why do people find it acceptable to allow Facebook to engage in tracking users all over the internet?

"With my browser logged out of Facebook, whenever I visit any page with a Facebook like button, or share button, or any other widget, the information, including my account ID, is still being sent to Facebook"
»nikcub-static.appspot.co ··· t-enough

This is personally indentifying you and your facebook profile to build an even more accurate and personal profile.

Has Facebook stated to what extent? Like for what purpose? Do you really think that it's just so they can serve up more targeted adds to users?

Where is all this heading?
An internet that is radiacally changing should not be dictated by corporate entities on this scale.
Login-out should be just that....Not just another excuse to own and shape users with hidden agenders that keep creating new acceptable norms nor lame reply posts that don't address the issues or fundamental questions.

I expect that they are "addicted" to the "social" aspect of Facebook, not Facebook proper. OTOH, I don't think you are qualified to recognize an addiction.
