If you know how to research, people are doddle and Facebook stuff is not readily available in search engines!
That some than can use this badly is a result of our society. I take the view that whatever I put on-line is free to anyone. What I do not put online is not. End of.

That is unfortunate.

I've got a bunch of Aussie mates I keep up with via the dreaded book of face. It's a necessary evil for me.
BTW, that sucks big hairy balls, but it's nice that you're back.

Good for you for seeing the light about Fakebook. When I was on it about 8 years ago some jerk posted my address, full name and birthdate. I had no idea how he found all that out and it scared the hell out of me. I deleted my account and have never gone back. Fakebook is not safe if you value your personal information.

Welcome back.

It is a very good idea to leave Facebook and all other social media. There is something big and sinister going on that only the future can reveal (after we are destroyed).

I am not a technology novice who panics without a reason. 5 years ago, I ran comprehensive social media campaigns, ad campaigns and product stores (tied to stand-alone ecommerce stores) on Facebook and ad campaigns on other social media through Hootsuite on a daily basis. All together I had about 25 profiles. Facebook admitted in the Congress testimony that they would continue to collect information even after we discontinue the profile.

Wow nasty
