So does mine, I deleted it anyway. You've got their phone numbers for texting and calling.

Family group chat so it isn't that easy. On the other hand I never open Facebook so 🤷

I don't disagree. And I totally understand and support people who choose to leave the platform altogether. I will more than likely leave at a certain point, the same way I left reddit.

I was only trying to open up discussion on the topic. I think that for most of us (younger generation) understand a the privacy issues with platforms like Facebook, Google, Tiktok. But I do also believe that for most it's extremely impractical to abandon that platform. Not everyone can be a pioneer.
