Anyone else completing?

Deleting their Facebook account?


If for nothing else then to send a BIG FK U to ......

May take up to 90 days to happen but I lived before FB.

People love their FB.

Why be mad, angry with FB?

You did not understand what joining FB entails?

Yep!

More then personal privacy and free elections it would seem.

Was told it is next to impossible to totally delete ones FB account.

It is the World-Wide-Web. WWW.

What is out there, is out there.

Figured out a long time ago that Facebook existed for the sole purpose of collecting and selling data. I didn't delete my account, but I don't post anything new on it and I don't respond to requests for surveys, games, etc.

The only reason I have a account was when the youngest went to Europe many years ago. Pretty much have locked it down. Haven't OK'd a friends request in awhile.

Would like to be on the list of the 50M names that were supplied illegally. The 40K fine each would be nice to have in my bank account. Because I never took any survey!

I never gave them one piece of identification I did not have to, including and especially my cell number. I am not very trusting buying online so I do not set myself up. Experian was unavoidable and I go online and check my balances every other day now.
But I will keep my account for keeping contact with friends and family. But trust them? Never in a million years.

Never joined, I have enough intrusive consequences from merely being on the interwebz.

I figure Cambridge Analytica knows, from all my pictures of cats, cooking and jazz LPs, that I’m not a target for their Donny propaganda, lol. They certainly won’t influence me, an independent, to vote for a demagogue.

I opted out yesterday, not that I have ever posted or even been on that site except to register several years back.
