Facebook addiction

Here's my blog repost of that "famous" Facebook post from a few years ago about my ketamine rage in hospital after my burn incident.

Oddly enough that post has been deleted from Facebook, and it wasn't deleted by me. I'm guessing Facebook deleted it because it contains drug use, even though it was legal, medically supervised drug use in a hospital. That's what Facebook does, it censors you, it suppresses or amplifies your posts in other people's newsfeeds as it sees fit, and will even delete your past posts if they don't conform to its own nebulous standards. It uses algorithms to give you newsfeed articles that you're more likely to react to, and is designed to be habit forming in a similar way to gambling. I'm sure many of you have already formed a tight mental association between boredom and looking at Facebook on your phone. Facebook also restricts you to a limited range of human experiences, makes you conform, and keeps you hidden behind its blue "iron curtain" so it can monetize you for advertising without competition from the rest of the internet.

So I'm glad I had the foresight to save this piece of creative writing somewhere other than Fakebook, and I'm glad I've moved to blogging. There'll be a blog post about these things soon, but for now there's this.
