I have definitely used the hashtag #deletefacebook and for me it goes beyond the data mining and lies perpetrated by Fakebook. The platform started out as if it was the product and all along we were designed as the product for them. Look up the Lifelog project. It was started by the CIA as a way to track the moves and thoughts of everyone. It was 'ended' on the same exact day that Facebook started. Facebook is a long arm of the Deep State and has always been in the business of exploiting people and their information. We're only just now seeing the extent of what those USER AGREEMENTS actually entailed. It did not include selling our data, which they did, and something they've vehemently denied doing..but they did it and continue to lie to their users.

The other reason I left Fakebook is that it turned into an echo chamber of anger and one-sided bitching. Even the interaction of 'friends' was becoming shallow and littered with emojis and cute, meaningless photos. It is not a place for anyone with an opinion that may contradict someone elses. The words 'racist', 'xenophobe' and 'priviledged' are tossed around so casually. It's ground zero for the unhinged, in my opinion.

Sad because it is a great tool, but I can't support it for reason stated and the deep deceptions attached to it.
