1/ Some personal news: I've decided to quit Facebook around the end of the year. I am doing this - after being on Facebook for nearly 12 years - because my own values and the policies and actions of Facebook have diverged to the point where I’m no longer comfortable there.

3/ I am hardly the first person to quit Facebook and I am not urging anyone else to do so, or trying to spark some dump-Facebook movement. Nor am I judging anyone who remains, or everyone who works there. This is just a personal decision about where online I wish to participate.

I quit FB messenger, WhatsApp & removed the FB app from my phone last summer due to values and also their being a time-sucking vortex. My usage dropped by about 98%. I’m considering going off altogether but I still occasionally use it to keep up with my far flung family members.

I’ve mostly been Facebook-free for a few years, with the exception being WhatsApp. Some friends/relatives just refuse to use iMessage/SMS, plus a few businesses use it exclusively since nearly everyone has it here.
