honest. I deactivated my Facebook because I didn't feel like my Facebook was mine. I feel like my Facebook exists to give my personal information to Facebook, so that Facebook can sell it to other companies so that they can use more of that "smart" advertising that everyone loves and cares about. most of it are thoughts and opinions There is also a four-minute video that was posted to YouTube called "Delete Facebook." This is what actually informed me on why I should, and did, delete/deactivate Facebook. My belief Gedanken is that social media sites are meant to be for your use. You should feel in control of all aspects of what you do on any social media. As it is, I thought it was strange when friends could see where I was through Google maps and if I'm on my phone if they clicked on my Facebook message in chat. A Tantastic analogy used in the video was: Town Opinion Text A Let's pretend that Facebook is one of your friends, one of your friends that you trust with your LIFE. And then you learn that your best friend has started storing photos of you... and all your text conversations... and every site that you have ever been to [...]. If you're telling me you wouldn't end that relationship, you're lying to yourself and me. Facebook has tried so hard to be a likeable, completely connected and inseparable² part of people's lives, and it's done so successfully! Facebook has nearly 1.15 BILLION users! That means that 16.4 percent of the world's population is on Facebook. But now Facebook is storing and automating all those people's status updates as well as their info. Matthias, the YouTuber who created the video "Delete Facebook" had another stunning analogy³. Immediately after his previous example of Facebook being a friend, he moves on to say, "But guess what? Facebook isn't that friend! It's the creep that lives under the bridge, that now has ALL of your precious information, and they're selling it to other creeps, under other bridges!" Maybe one day I'll reactivate my Facebook, but in all honesty, it's kind of nice not having a Facebook. I don't feel the need to endlessly prowl my newsfeed for funny posts or important information from friends. If something is actually important, people have my phone number or I'll find out. I even ended up asking myself, "Why am I on Facebook to begin with?" The answer is simple, everyone else is. But why are they on Facebook as well? So, until a date unknown, I push Facebook aside and now I am met with freedom. Murray Rosenbaum (17 years), Huffington Post online. 9th June, 2014 ● sown experience 1st person informal thought opinions examples or referring to imaginable consequenos fact that lots of peope have it ·adresses teenies M 2 unzertrennbar Vergleich, Analogie *here: durchstöbem 472 words Text B Studie zeigt: 100.000 Jugendliche sind süchtig nach Social Media- das sind die gefährlichen Folgen Sie chatten, posten, liken - und das meist bis spät in die Nacht: In Deutschland sollen 100.000 Kinder und Jugendliche süchtig nach sozialen Medien sein. Schlafmangel, soziale Isolation. oder Depressionen sind mögliche Folgen der Sucht. Das ist das Ergebnis einer aktuellen Studie der Deutschen Angestellten Krankenkasse (DAK) und dem Deutschen Zentrum für Suchtfragen am Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf (UKE). Für die Studie befragte das Meinungsforschungsinstitut Forsa 1001 Jungen und Mädchen im Alter von zwölf bis 17 Jahren. DAK-Vorstandschef Andreas Storm bezeichnete die Ergebnisse als alarmierend". Demnach verbringen Jungen und Mädchen zwischen zwölf und 17 Jahren durchschnittlich rund zweieinhalb Stunden täglich mit sozialen Medien. Spitzenreiter in der Nutzung ist der Messenger-Dienst WhatsApp, gefolgt von Instagram und Snapchat. Mädchen sind der Studie zufolge länger in sozialen Medien unterwegs als Jungen - im Schnitt knapp über drei Stunden pro Tag. Jungs surfen dagegen im Schnitt circa eine halbe Stunde weniger im sozialen Netz. Je länger und häufiger Kinder und Jugendlichen online sind, desto höher ist das Suchtrisiko. „Viele Kinder und Jugendliche chatten, posten und liken von früh bis in die Nacht", sagte Storm. Einige rutschen so in die Abhängigkeit. Besonders alarmierend sei der Zusammenhang zwischen Social-Media-Sucht und Depressionen, sagte Storm. Denn wer von sozialen Medien abhängig ist, habe ein höheres Risiko, an einer Depression zu erkranken. Es könne auch passieren, dass sich depressive Kinder und Jugendliche häufiger in die virtuelle Welt zurückziehen und deshalb ein Suchtverhalten entwickeln. „In jedem Fall verstärken sich die beiden Faktoren, so dass eine ernste gesundheitliche Gefahr droht", so Storm. Bei Kindern und Jugendlichen führt die häufige Beschäftigung mit Social Media laut Studie auch zu negativen sozialen Auswirkungen. Jeder dritte Befragte nutzt soziale Medien, um nicht an unangenehme Dinge denken zu müssen, Bei den Mädchen sind es sogar 40 Prozent. Knapp ein Viertel der Befragten bekommt wegen der Nutzung sozialer Medien zu wenig Schlaf. Jeder Fünfte streitet mit den Eltern über das Thema Social Media, bei den 12- bis 13-Jährigen sogar jeder Dritte. 13 Prozent sind unglücklich, wenn sie keine sozialen Medien nutzen können. Acht Prozent der Befragten sind mit allen Freunden ausschließlich über soziale Medien in Kontakt. Kinder müssten lernen, mit digitalen Medien umzugehen, fordert die DAK. Sie sollten Chancen und Risiken dieser Medien sehen. Aber auch Eltern, Lehrer und Erzieher brauchten Unterstützung, damit sie Kinder im digitalen Zeitalter kompetent auf ihrem Weg begleiten können.

Rosenbaum finds it quite difficult to deactivate this platform in the beginning, but she has thoughts, that her personal information is given away for successful advertisings. She gets the courage to set her decision into ac- tion by watching a video by the Youtuber Matthias who compares Facebook to friends who betray you or creeps who stalk you. After thinking about all clisadvanta- ges by using Facebook, Rosenbaum asks herself #ce about a comprehensive advan- tage while using social media applications & and claims herself as 'free'. 2That there it doesn't make sense to use Facebook of except getting & bes. yourself into clanger or having an ob- Session, is * main message the 17 years old author's message.
