Good post

Facebook is not to be trusted

With a little effort, FreeRepublic could BECOME a better (and more free) version of Facebook.

It was here BEFORE all these place and JimRob should have been an internet billionaire.

But at least he didn’t sell out to ‘the man’

I find I use facebook less and less. And in my entire life I’ve only bought one phone app: Winamp.

Comically, they went out of business, so I chose poorly.

Facebook is not a privacy company; it’s Big Brother on PCP. It does not want to anonymize and protect you; it wants to drain you of your privacy, sucking up every bit of personal data. You should resist the urge to let it, at every turn.

And for that reason everything to do with Facebook functionality is blocked on all my devices.

For that matter never ever use a free VPN service, and be careful about paid ones.

An fool who signs up with Facebook deserves to be spied on, to the max.

What’s a “Facebook”? Even the name is creepy.

Have no desire to come even close to Facebook. I avoid it and all "social media" like the plague.

I use the Private Internet Access company mentioned in the last paragraph. Never had a problem. They off IP addresses from all over the world you can use.
