I agree with your reasoning but does Dreams do the same?Our family does not use FB for multiple reasons, one being destruction of our family unit. Too many outside influence and distractions, unnecessary junk.
It is blocked on our actual router, so even people who use our WiFi will not be able to access it (sorry friends!)
Our children do not have social media accounts, completely unnecessary.
I use Facebook. But you know they sell all of your data to medical and advertisers right?
There was a video on the checkout an Australian tv show. That explained this well. Too lazy to share. The funny thing is they are not doing a good job. They need to do much better with my personal info. Keep getting Macca's ads. I do not eat fast foodThe common misconception is that you are Facebook's customers. You are not.
You are their product.
Facebook's customers are advertisers, to whom Facebook sells access to you and your personal data.

....OMG, so true!!!....And I actively avoid anything my employees post on social media. So much there I'd rather not know.......
Yeah, it's exactly like that post.I think now I get the concept of "facebragging" lol.
I don’t do Facebook. Signed up but the name should of been brag book, not Facebook....
Facebook is a tool, nothing more. It is what you make it. "Destruction of the family unit"? Really?Our family does not use FB for multiple reasons, one being destruction of our family unit. Too many outside influence and distractions, unnecessary junk.

*DITTO*My social media is the DIS and has been for 18 years...
I hate being used for game invites, etc.
I am not, and let me say I think it would be real cool to see what everyone is doing from different times in yuor life, but its more important for me to be off the grid
When I add a Friend, I immediately add their name to the Block App invites list. Haven’t seen those stupid Facebook game in years.
I posted in other thread why I don't do FB. It started off as cute and fun, but overall I'd say it's a waste of time. When my sole reason for being there is to see who the latest train wreck is, then it's time for me to do something else.
Totally your choice and your family but how exactly does it destroy the family unit?
It’s just a tool or a form of entertainment. A lot of people don’t like it and don’t use it and there really is nothing wrong with that. But it’s so widespread that so much information is exchanged through Facebook. Especially with groups like sports teams, school groups, reunion planning, etc. Seems like it would be beneficial to have an account even if there were only an extremely small group of friends or pages followed.
