Funny you two should mention that. I’ve been considering it myself. Most of my family just doesn’t care. I don’t ‘friend’ too many people. How does one shut down a FB account anyway? I’ll be happy to share my e-mail address with my Freeper FB buds, ‘just in case’.
You can deactivate a FB account but it never really goes away. I deactivate mine on occasion, but anytime I type in the email and password it comes up.
Sometimes I think the Tea Party ought to just infiltrate the Democrat Party and start running candidates as Democrats. /kinda sarcastic
I’ll email you the instructions. Right now I forget the exact proceedure but it’s basically go to settings in FB (upper right) select desctivate account, check a box to keep geting mail or not, tthen “deactivate” and follow a couple of prompts.
Scarey thing is even though your sccount is deactivated FB dtill keeps your info and past posts IIRC. You can actually later go back and reactivate it.
It’s like you can never fullly leave. I hate social media!
