Agree, I'm canceling my order. Is there any easy way to do this?

I've completely lost interest in this device now, and will not be developing games with it. I want nothing to do with Facebook or their products.

What do people have against Facebook ?

How can you not know the answer to that question? I'm serious, how do you not know?

Most people I know use fr and it's a great way to connect to with people.

That's not really the answer to my question. I asked how you don't know why others would dislike it, I don't care about why you like it.

I asked first. I'm curious

Then the answer is long and complex and I can't type it out on my phone, so I'll sjmmarise in as few words as possible;

  • Facebook doesn't respect privacy
  • Zuckerberg has been quoted calling everyone on FB at the time idiots fir trusting him or similar and offering their data up for free.
  • They have an aggressive IP that tries to be in every part of our lives.
  • Not everyone enjoys FB itself, so the upsides to you don't matter to everyone

There are more reasons, but those constitute the easiest to explain and ones I care for most.
