Because it automatically records and posts to the person who sent you the message the exact time, down to the minutes, that you read their message. And others (if it's a group message) can see that you've seen the message and when you saw it. The chat bar is another feature that "tells" on you. Can't tell you how many times I've been hiding out from annoying people only to log onto Facebook and have the green light on the chat bar light up next to my name showing I'm online.....then immediately my phone rings and it's the stalkers on my page calling since they saw I was online. And I won't even get started on how businesses rip off valuable marketing info on you just by stalking Facebook. Grrrrrr!!!! But I feel that that's the way the world rolls now. If you're not on Facebook, you miss out. It's indeed a "Brave New World".........and I hate it!!
So take a Facebook hiatus. Deactivate it for a while. Listen, we are already in this Brave New World. Everything tracks your location, your likes, your spending habits, your friends, your career, etc. If you don't like social media, get off it. I for one have a Facebook but hate that it puts you in contact with or allows contact with people that have gone in your life. My opinion is that if someone didn't reach out to you in a while, they don't care. Move on. People come and go. Facebook makes us into pussies.
