People still using Facebook doesn't mean they're okay with everything because of the monopoly. I stay off it at times but it means I'm cut off from significant civic, social and community flows. Schools put active shooter updates on Facebook. How are people supposed to stay away?

There are industries that run on Instagram. There are political flows that are only on WhatsApp groups. A lot of politics is only on Facebook groups. Try to be a media personality without Twitter. There are big chunks of our lives that have no realistic alternative lanes.

Typical to be honest. For an immigrant, or anyone with dispersed family on Facebook countries, the list is much longer.https://twitter.com/hiddenpeanuts/status/1174137712682684416 …

The problem being that it's an engine to infer the personal from everything so even limited use gives them something. I still use it tho because it's a monopoly just am aware everything I chat about is being mined and logged.

That's me. Was a daily user a few years ago. Now I grudgingly get on for events and a few organizations that aren't anywhere else. Total time on Facebook has been less than 30-minutes in several months.

FB relies on its audience for selling data and ad revenue. If you reduce your user engagement drastically, their value is reduced. It works. If you don’t want to delete, reduce your visits to the site and make sure you purge personal info.
