Pulling The Plug
I just ended my relationship with Facebook. Here's what that looked like: (click the images for a bigger legible version)
They say goodbye by showing you pictures of some of your friends telling them how much they'll miss you. (I didn't post the images, obviously).
Then they provide you with a complaint box:
For those of you with a screen reader I checked 'Other', and explained further:
You made drastic changes to your Terms of Use (A legal contract between you and I) without telling me. Even though in most countries that very act voids the contract, you attempted to compromised my identity, and take the rights to my content. Now you're pretending as though you didn't mean what you said. It's a shame that you have this incredible networking app, but can't find a way to be profitable without sacrificing your ethics. You broke my heart Facebook. You broke my heart.
And then on top of everything I had to struggle to dyslexically interpret a Captcha.. One of those things where you have to guess the letters to prove you're a human. Like trying to find the right key to the lock when I'm stuck in a trunk at the bottom of a swimming pool.
