    Just curious.

    How many of you are a member on Facebook?

    I'm not because I don't trust the site-----nothing is free. My wife is and if she tries to post something pro-Trump, pro-right, or even pass something along that she received of that nature it gets blocked.

    I can see it being a benefit for those who own a small company but just to chat, It's not for me.

    Another reason I refuse is because of how it is "pushed" upon us. Many internet articles and sites require a FB log in. I simply read something else. It's not as bad as it use to be though in that regard.

    I'm on it. But for just one reason. I traveled a lot earlier in my life & made friends all over the globe. I use it to keep in touch with them, nothing more.
    I refuse to use any of the F/B "services" because as you say its heavily (& stupidly) censored buy automated AI bots, which are marginal in comprehension, or politically-motivated keyboard warriors with an attitude.
    There's one thing you have to be aware of on FaceBook.
    Your relationship with it is the same as a cow's relationship to a farmer. Members are no more than Stock in Trade & are milked for information & sold to people who sell "targeted advertising."

    it is a time suck, and zuckybird and his algorithms have worked to threaten to shut us down a few times,
