Don't surrender to this pressure to let Facebook use you! You don't need to be a Verified Fan of a musician that is a Verified Fad. There are plenty of good musicians that you can enjoy, that are not so famous and could really use your support, and will respect your freedom.

You don't need to have an argument, just to say it. In under a minute you can take a small easy step to promote surveillance awareness.
