Stop Stalking Me, Facebook

Granted, I have previously admitted that it can be beneficial to have a stalker . (Feel free to click that link and read that article before continuing here.)

However, I never wanted an entire corporation and/or website to stalk me, especially one as octopus-like as Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg recently acquired a restraining order against a Facebook user for, I don't know, poking him too much? Maybe the Facebook user was advertising to Mark too much.

Whatever the case, it is the perfect segue for the restraining order I am issuing against Facebook, effective immediately. Wherever I go, Facebook, you follow. Please stop. You are not my big brother.

It seems any time I search for someone on the internet, Facebook, you are there. Why must you stalk me while I'm stalking others? It's not enough that you do it on your website?

Facebook, even on the confines of your website, I find your ways a little creepy. What is a "poke" anyway?

When you expand into my internet searches you have gone too far.

Your little Facebook icons follow me onto all kinds of non-Facebook sites. Please pull back your social network minions as you are not my big brother.

Or, are you? And, what would that make Mark Zuckerberg?
