Despite all my fears about data ownership, privacy, algorhythmic addiction, there is one reason I haven't left facebook: they have my identity. To the extent that who I am is a node in a network, that who I am is revealed through my relationships and connections, who I am is controlled by Facebook. My identity is captured.
