Facebook and Memory ...

ZUCKERBERG'S GREAT REFORMS MUST'VE STARTED
Fb is now assiduously seeking to correct its version of my past (or maybe that's deciduously, since it involves paper), asking repeatedly -- every time I've come online over the last 48 hrs -- "What was your position at Freelance Translator & Editor?"
The correct answer is, of course, "Supine, almost exclusively: laptop on lap, big behind parked in recliner." What, did they think I was Hemingway or something, writing standing up? Ahaha...--
Hey, wait a minute!!!

John Brown BTW, I find it creepy (esp. given recent "revelations") that FB keeps reminding me what my "memory" is, based on samples of my past FB comments (in all fairness I can delete my FB "memories" [the word is FB's]). But is there nothing more "private" than one's memory, you (and millions of others) of what you think/feel? Not a very good PR move by Zuck & Co., given headline-making social media's prying/"sharing" info to [you name the recipient]. ... [Addition, not on Facebook entry: At least Nabokov got paid for his "Speak, Memory, Speak me memoir ... ]
