Left Facebook

Today I deleted my Facebook account in protest to the egregious malfeasance on the part of Cambridge Analytica and Facebook. I highly suggest that all users of Facebook download their account information and see what information FB is using. The fact that FB knew what CA was up to over 2 years ago and said nothing leaves me with a sick feeling in my stomach and strengthened the distaste I have felt about some of FB's activities for a few years. In light of this information about FB and CA, I saw a report that Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 called FB users f*ing idiots for trusting him back then. So you can see the nefarious intentions from the beginning. Had I have known this tidbit, I would never has signed up for FB in the first place. I am glad to be gone and will not be using WhatsApp or Instagram either as they are also owned by FB. Good riddance! I have recently signed up with 2 other social media sites: Mastodon and MeWe. Mastodon is open source while MeWe is much like FB, but without the intrusion. You can connect with me on both, Mastodon @emberlea and MeWe Emberlea McCulligh.
