Newsweek's Dan Lyons is charged with orchestrating and leading the terrorist attack on AT&T.
Seriously it seems the days of this kind of civil demonstration or protest are over. These actions have all been chucked up to terrorism with associated jail time.
I'm not sure what the motivation is here. Either "privacy" is some sort of religious thing for you, in which case giving up Facebook is a small price to pay, or it's a pragmatic matter, in which case you can make a decision about what the pros and cons are for you instead of asking us.
If you're asking whether I personally am impressed by someone bragging about how he refuses to use Facebook or GMail: it impresses me about as much as someone who brags about not having heard of some television show.
I think you are missing the point here. I don't have facebook, myspace, etc. It's not about impressing others. For me, at least, its about not having the ability to find out almost everything about me by just googling something as trivial as my phone number. I don't want everything about me to be available to anyone.
And yes I think that comes with a price. You are going to lose out on the easy ability to bond with friends or have those things in common. I do not think you can have both. You are certainly welcome to try. For me I have found a middle ground. I am happy enough not being 'easy' to find.
I have had arguments with my wife over her pictures of me in her social networking sites. It is not an easy road if you value your privacy. I also think it is a losing fight.
