And, to point it out yet AGAIN, these are the alternatives:

All the social networks are tools of the State to centralize, collect, manipulate, control, analyze, surveil, sell-on and censor the masses. All of them profit from exploiting your privacy to the maximum extent, as do all the popular operating systems in use today (which are again just tools of State Mafia). By using social networks you add value to them & the crooks who run them using your taxes. The whole point of the internet (to me) is to decentralize power and dissent, not centralize it, yet we have billions using apps of State Control, oblivious to the super-invasive apps and games installed on their devices, and oblivious to the origins of these networks despite years of revelations prior to recent (utterly predictable) headlines. | |

I think you just need to make Facebook work for you. I'm on there under a pseudonym rather than my real name, and I really limit the number of people I have as friends and what I post. I have about 40 friends on there, just close family and friends. www.filmsfilmsfilms.co.uk - The internet's best movie site! | |

I don't have any use for it personally but Facebook, and other social media sites, are a great way of getting free advertising. A friend of mine pretty much exclusively used his social media accounts to promote his album and sold upwards of 10,000 copies and got quite a few sold out live shows from it. Social media, word of mouth and reasonable pricing is all it takes to succeed. As for using Facebook to chat to "friends" and stuff, that element of it doesn't appeal to me at all. I can't get a minute's peace with my phone ringing a hundred times a day, I don't need constant notifications on Facebook letting me know my sister had a dentist appointment or whatever. | |

I'm on Facebook mainly because the theatre groups I work with post audition notices (and other important stuff) there. It'd be a lot harder to find and keep track of that stuff if I didn't have an account. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

If you don't put the correct information, how could this affect you? 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment |

Your smart cell phone is the real danger. You are tracked when your in a store-even without that store's app. Any app you download collects your data. Facebook isn't as scary as your phone. 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment |

i'm on FaceBook (after swearing i would never) but my profile consists of my name and a fake birthday. that's about it so anyone data-mining me won't get much... i hope. FB helped me get back in touch with old friends from high school so for that i like it. | |

No. They deleted that fat fuck Alex Jones, so you don't have to worry about his bullshit. I'd say stay on Facebook - at least until they let that fat fuck back on. Then re-evaluate. | |

I'm there for friends and family who are far, but it has been over two months since I logged in. My only gripe with FB is the political whinefest thats been bombarding my feed, which is the main reason why I rarely post anymore. | |

Nope, I never did anything with it when I joined and now I have no idea how to access it without giving information I don't want to. So there it sits, sending me email updates about people who are trying to friend me. Time keeps on slipping into the future...
This moment is all there is... |

DaveT said: I think you just need to make Facebook work for you. I'm on there under a pseudonym rather than my real name, and I really limit the number of people I have as friends and what I post. I have about 40 friends on there, just close family and friends. I can't understand people using it for their news. I still have m8ne but I rarely make any post. This year do far I've congratulated one person and answered one question. Last yr I probably posted once or not at all. I also don't have my picture up there at all. | |
