It’s unlikely, however, that a company like Apple, for instance, would integrate technology into its phones helping it distinguish between devices used by law enforcement and those used by malicious actors. That would undoubtedly be viewed by the public as endorsing the use of the devices

If they forget their login information, or get signed out, they simply come in for a new Facebook account. Of the dozens of people interviewed by BuzzFeed News in Myanmar, all said they had more than one Facebook account. None knew about Facebook’s policy that users must use their real names.

They implemented Go365, which is an app that I’m supposed to download on my phone, to track my steps, to earn points through this app. If I don’t earn enough points, and if I choose not to use the app, then I’m penalized $500 at the end of the year. People felt that was very invasive, to have to download that app and to be forced into turning over sensitive information.

Residents have been strongly discouraged from taking baths, watering gardens and refilling swimming pools. But the restrictions have divided people. Many have committed to lowering their water usage and are anxious at the prospect of Day Zero, Colvin says. “And yet there's pretty much half of our population who seem to be in denial about it and about the potential reality of [Day Zero].”

It was Rosenstein’s colleague, Leah Pearlman, then a product manager at Facebook and on the team that created the Facebook “like”, who announced the feature in a 2009 blogpost. Now 35 and an illustrator, Pearlman confirmed via email that she, too, has grown disaffected with Facebook “likes” and other addictive feedback loops. She has installed a web browser plug-in to eradicate her Facebook news feed, and hired a social media manager to monitor her Facebook page so that she doesn’t have to.
Ah, to be wealthy enough to employ others to handle the obligations imposed on us by Facebook.
