Very well said and spot on. Same here, I hate government intrusion into ANYTHING but this has gone gotten completely out of bounds and the referees need to throw in the flag, and the game needs to be called. They need to be forced to forfeit and rightfully so.
It was designed too.
When we were shopping for a replacement for DH’s old LG flip phone a couple months ago, we were told that these will not work after Dec. 2019. It has to do with completely ditching whatever “G” they run on — 3G? 4G?

Uh oh, s/he told the truth.
Facebook don’t be likin’ dat.
So they unfriended her/him.
My pay.as.you.go carrier has flat phones for sale pretty reasonably, but being a bit of a curmudgeon I'm loathe to switch .. lol !
Facebook should have to pay billions for this.
why?
