In the wake of the recent facebook/Cambridge Analytica data mining story, i hope to get some of my

friends and famiy,  interested enough to have a serious conversation ( in an ideal world: #deletefacebook )

about their online privacy, and the gory details of how, facebook, google et al... have taken over most people's digital life.

My first step, is to write an article/open letter - addressed to my family and friends, advocating personal privacy online, and gently introducing (most of) them, to FOSS/decentralised communications and social networking. I aim to create, a handful of compelling reasons, to be interested, and will post up my  first article/essay here and in other places on the net, for possible peer review, before letting my facebook circle read my piece.

All comments and suggestions, are very much welcome.

Mike
