      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.

      2/ I am also quitting Facebook-owned Instagram and Messenger. I will remain on Twitter, and will continue to communicate via iMessage, email and SMS text with those who have my email address and/or phone number. Obviously, people who follow me here can also reach me via DM.

      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 am thinking of doing exactly the same. Between what Facebook has done with political speech, and the recent data breaches, I have many concerns.

          I removed it from the phone, but still have family that check in there, so I'll visit with the protections Apple provides through the Safari browser & Mac OS.

          Please don't think this is me calling you out, rather just a general statement. I don't think the Mac or safari or any other apple product can protect anyone from what Facebook does. I could be wrong because you may be talking about something else that I didn't understand

          Sometime soon, a social media platform that is geared to the preservation of personal sovereignty in the digital realm will emerge . . . and we will return

          The higher your profile, the higher the risk on social media platforms. Your actions are understandable. The average nobody who shares family news and vacation photos on FB largely is unaffected by the things that have made you uncomfortable.

          No, that's not the case, as I see it. I think our whole country, and other countries, have been affected adversely by Facebook's policies and actions. I am not quitting Facebook because I've been under attack there. I haven't been.
