    I wonder what is their conclusion. It's also interesting that all the approved sources are either white owned or push a liberal agenda.

    I haven't used FB since 2015 and I haven't looked back. Their invasive privacy made me dump them. I don't want to toot my own horn but I was screaming about FB long before Steve Wozniak raised the alarm.

    Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says for many people the loss of privacy that comes with having a Facebook profile is not worth it.

    I left Facebook for the same reason. Unfortunately, I still have to use WhatsApp.

    Facebook has been trying to stop the exodus for years.

    Is Facebook for old people? Over-55s flock in as the young leave

    A forecast 700,000 teenagers and young adults will leave the social media site in 2018

    Deaded Fedbook a very long time ago. That’s one of the most toxic negative places ever. If you don’t give a sh—t about your life, privacy, private information, and are a rampant attention needy low self esteem person with narcissistic tendencies then Facebook is the place for you… yaeeee!! 🤣

    IG and Twitter at least let you control your content. If you are tech savvy enough then you can filter information based on settings

    I've never been a big fan of FB but I have to be on there for business purposes (I run a few pages for companies). I try to stay as private on there as I can and I'm rarely on my personal account anymore.

    They embellish information to make their resume of work look better than what it is. This is why companies have to give a test before hiring to see if a person knows what he or she says.
