Try this folks, type in your SSN to google...

This is a really bad idea. Please don't do it.

The first few years of FB’s existence wasn’t bad at all. After that though it became a nightmare and just gets worse on a daily basis.

Time to shut it down and shutter it completely.

Offering a 100 dollar gift card and they will get 99 percent compliance.

Of course use a VPN, for a few $ a month, you are disguised.

Yes, if you want to know if you’ve been hacked check out your own SSN.

I guess after their latest stock disaster, this is their answer to raise some quick cash. A great example of how leftists view the ordinary peasants.

For the many who are on Facebook hours and hours a day, they would easily make it their preferred site to pay bills, etc. What Zuckerberg needs to do is buy a small bank, change its name to Facebook Financial and volunteer free checking. My guess is that within a year, the bank would be among the 100 largest in the country.

If FB has violated the privacy of non-members, FB needs to be sued into penury.

Good thing I “never” signed up for FB or Twitter.

There are other “problematic” aspects to this.

If Facebook gets mad at you because you shared “hate speech”, will they report this to your bank and shut down your financial services? The New York AG is trying to get banks and insurers to cut off the NRA because they’re evil incarnate, and liberals think it is OK to refuse service to conservatives in general retail ...

Why not try to render the politically incorrect unbanked as well? Such a financial relationship between Facebook and banks gives them a direct line to do so.

Hell....I got asked just the other day.."Are you on FACEBOOK?"

I said nope..and never will be.

They looked at me...like I was nuts. LOL!!!

I have no idea what a tweet is...unless it's coming from a feathered winged creature...in my yard.

My kids make me have a cell phone. I don't have a land line....I don't have T.V. cable or dish.

I do have a flip phone...though. And pretty much hate it....although at times..it's handy. So I keep it....!! Ha!!!

Make sure you let your bank know you’ll be done with them the instant they comply with farcebook. Done!

That doesn’t seem to be too uncommon here with all the FR Big Brains, but out in the wild that’s not the case.

You need to give up facebook.

There are a ton of FReepers on it, including the founder and this site.

I gave it up. It is bad medicine. It will turn your brain to mush, just ask my gf.

And there’s no shortage of authoritarian @ssholes here on this site, who just love to tell everyone else what they should or should not be doing.

Too bad I can’t use my VPN here. I get a 503 error on all but the main page.
