Wozniak claims he shut down his Facebook account because he became \u201cscared a bit\u201d by the amount of his personal data collected by Mark Zuckerberg and the Masters of the Universe.<\/p>\n<p>CNBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/03\/23\/why-apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-deactivated-his-facebook-account.html\">reports<\/a>\u00a0that Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of tech giant Apple, recently appeared on an episode of the\u00a0<em>Steve-O\u2019s Wild Ride!<\/em> podcast, hosted by <em>Jackass<\/em> star Steve-O. During the podcast, Wozniak noted that he and his wife had recently deactivated their Facebook accounts over privacy concerns.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_14405447\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2020\/09\/Mark-Zuckerberg-Facebook-creepy-smile.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mark Zuckerberg Facebook creepy smile ( KENZO TRIBOUILLARD \/Getty)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Wozniak stated that when he \u201clikes\u201d a post made by a friend, it isn\u2019t a way to connect with someone he knows but to reveal his interests to advertisers. Wozniak stated that he\u2019s \u201cscared a bit\u201d of the amount of access Facebook has to his life.<\/p>\n<p>Wozniak stated:\u00a0\u201cOf all Big Tech, Facebook is probably No. 1 that I don\u2019t like.\u201d Wozniak referred to a 2018 blog post by Facebook\u2019s then-product management director Davis Baser in which he explained how Facebook and its partners collect and share user data.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Wozniak commented:\u00a0\u201cI read how it can still grab data and [send it] to Facebook, even when you\u2019re not using the [platform]. I don\u2019t believe this is right, because you should [be] honest, [so that] that every person who uses it knows what they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wozniak\u2019s last straw with Facebook was the appearance of personalized ads on his newsfeed, that didn\u2019t come from his interactions on the platform but solely from the scrolling of his newsfeed.\u00a0\u201cI started looking at Facebook because I kind of like little videos of dogs \u2026 and the dogs being saved by people,\u201d he said. \u201cIt became so habit forming \u2026 and I don\u2019t like habits, because that\u2019s addiction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wozniak notes that he primarily relies on Apple services to share data.\u00a0\u201cWe share photos in our families on iCloud,\u201d Wozniak said. \u201cIt costs $2 a month, right? You share photos with albums, and other friends of the families can be in on it, and it\u2019s protected. It\u2019s private. Nobody can take the data and find out everything you\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/03\/23\/why-apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-deactivated-his-facebook-account.html\">CNBC here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Lucas Nolan is a reporter for Breitbart News covering issues of free speech and online censorship.
