Never used it. It’s a democratic supported business for one. Next Facebook sells all your data and you don’t get a check. It’s why that company is worth billions of dollars. They sell user data to anyone and everyone. Then there is the incesssant feces flinging.
No thanks and never will.



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

Wow. Thank you for the responses. I thought I was being dramatic ir overly cautious but it seems a lot of people experience the same. Thanks for the feedback.

I have never felt the need to take a break from facebook. If you feel that need, you were using it waaaay too much and taking it waaaay too seriously to begin with.


I'm 48. I've had a never had a facebook account because I knew what data they were harvesting from the time when you had to have a college .edu email address (2004-05.)

I have never felt the need to join facebook. If I felt that need, it was time for me to suck start one or more cylinders of my S&W 442. Classmates dot com and Facespace were more than enough stalker-ish back in 2006-8.




They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

I will post no politics, at all, myself. I'm going to keep it to personal news and positive or humourous stuff.


I am on Facebook to stay in touch with my family, mainly my brother's side of the family; and a few friends.
Trouble is all my brother's side are leftists ranging from knee-jerk liberals on left.
They constantly are in a rage these days, and I refuse to mud-wrestle with them.
