As a data point, I disagree with almost all of the above (agree that Facebook is mind-hacky, but don’t care). Therefore I’m not planning to block my newsfeed.
I think everything is mind-hacky. Facebook doesn’t seem better at it than my primary school curriculum or social group. I know it’s for corporate interests, but everyone tries to influence you for their own interests. I don’t really see how this is special—I think as long as I’m benefiting and Facebook is benefiting, it’s no one else’s business.
