Quitting Facebook
| 
Apr 18 22:56 UTC 2019 |
Facebook has been asking users to turn over the passwords to their
external e-mail accounts in violation of fundamental security
principles, and downloading users' contacts lists without permission in
violation of basic principles of privacy and ethics. I've never been a
big FB user, but this is the last straw. I'm quitting FB and strongly
recommend everyone else to do likewise.

I've never installed the FB app to a smartphone - always use the browser.

resp:1 Neither have I.
Following up on my opening post, I've gathered alternative contacts for all
my family and friends, deleted photos and other information, defriended
everyone, and deactivated my Facebook account.

My FB posts are a small subsect of 'friends' where on Friday I post
a youtube link to a song fitting my mood with 'TGIF' as the caption.
