Sure but uf you're using FB to spread the word on privacy and
freesoftware, you probably get mocked or trolled and when this sort
of thing breaks the news headlines, you can smugly say 'told you
so' <br>
<br>
I have said this before sometimes I think you need to join the enemy
in order to spread your view point. You don't even need to engate
with people that much just have regular posts to FB people will
follow youk and those of us who understand the argument will use the
other usual methods to engage. <br>
