You are useless to them unless they can make advertiser money from you and advertisers want DEMOGRAPHICS (aka your personal information)</p>
<p>If you have something in your Facebook account that you could not bear to loose - like the email addresses and photos of friends - you need to back it up and be prepared to get social someplace else.</p>
<p>Watch the recent F8 video.Virtual reality is interesting to Facebook because you will BELIEVE what you see. Imagine what advertisers can do with that.</p>
<p>Oh, and get your loved ones off Facebook. <a href="http://saintsal.com/facebook/" rel="nofollow">http://saintsal.com/facebook/</a><br />

<p>I also don't see what the problem is with Facebook.

<p>In case anyone is thinking of TM'ing their avatar, they should research it themselves or seek legal advice. I am not expert - its just how I did it based on my research. A TM is an "Unregistered Trademark" and it has benefits as well as limitations depending on what you need. A Registered Trademark (with the circled R) is expensive but holds much more legal power. I am sure you all can look them up on Wiki or elsewhere to learn more.</p>
<p>In the end, I don't even know if the TM was a big factor as FB never told me the reason why they agreed with my appeal. I suspect it has more to do with how many online sites my avatar ID is used. But I am only guessing.</p>Laetizia Coronet commented on 'Facebook Restores User Account Named After His Second Life Avatar - Here's How He Did It'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b8d0f94442970c2015-03-31T22:19:49Z2015-03-31T22:19:49ZLaetizia Coronethttps://twitter.com/tishcoronetJust ditch Facebook altogether. http://www.france24.com/en/mediawatch/20150331-facebook-tracks-you-even-you-not-user/?aef_campaign_date=2015-03-31&aef_campaign_ref=partage_aef&dlvrit=65413&ns_campaign=reseaux_sociaux&ns_linkname=editorial&ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter<p>Just ditch Facebook altogether. <a href="http://www.france24.com/en/mediawatch/20150331-facebook-tracks-you-even-you-not-user/?aef_campaign_date=2015-03-31&aef_campaign_ref=partage_aef&dlvrit=65413&ns_campaign=reseaux_sociaux&ns_linkname=editorial&ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter" rel="nofollow">http://www.france24.com/en/mediawatch/20150331-facebook-tracks-you-even-you-not-user/?aef_campaign_date=2015-03-31&aef_campaign_ref=partage_aef&dlvrit=65413&ns_campaign=reseaux_sociaux&ns_linkname=editorial&ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter</a></p>
