I do not have a Facebook account. I find it creepy Facebook tracks what websites you visit for all the world to see, where you have been on vacation, etc. Facebook does not give a crap about privacy because they need to use your information to "monetize" your usage so they can justify their $100 billion valuation which is currently 100 times earnings.

I don’t have it either—its nothing but a huge tracking device.

My twins have an account but I have no desire whatsoever for one for myself.

Why is this news? Some people use FaceBook, some people don’t - so what.

My Mom keeps hounding me to joining Facebook, but I refuse. She hates that and is always saying what this person or that person posted on their FB page. Sorry, I’m not biting.

Ann Barnhardt called Facebook a “a giant self-service surveillance net.” I agree. “They” already know enough about us as it is without our giving them even more help.

Hasn’t FB been complicit in China’s oppression of political dissent?

"resister"...just another attempt at labeling people.

I would think whether or not someone has a FB account is up to that person, and no one else.

Facebook is just a passing fad.

Would I ever want to be considered as a Facebook Resister?

Nope. Heavens no! Just chalk me up as a Facebook Denier. As far as I'm concerned, FB doesn't even exist and never has.

And BTW, shouldn't the term be spelled as resistor, with an o instead of with an e? Inquiring minds need to know.

Does anyone know exactly how to shut down an account? I thought I had shut mine done then my sister told me someone had posted something to me.

On another note, I still believe all these large internet companies are government owned and operated, including the one I use ....Yahoo. They say they make money on advertising. I’ve never known anyone who said they bought something from an ad they saw on Facebood or Google or Yahoo. I know I haven’t. I don’t even look at them.

No facebook for me! Anyone I want to chat with already knows who and where I am.

Facebook is a precursor to the implementation of the mark of the beast! How else will they know everything about you?

I opened an account a few years ago when some friends said they used it to keep up with things. I'm not a social creature and it seemed inane, so I didn't give anything but my nam and never posted anything to it. Have looked at it exactly twice in the last year and a half and noted inane BS along with about 10,000 requests to become "friends". I suppose the next time I go to it, it will be to try to delete the account.

If I want to "network", I'll do it at FR where you can have intelligent (mostly) debate/dialogue.

I was on facebook for a little while but more than half the people who friended me, some from college and high school days were Bleeding Heart Liberals, I couldn’t take it or them, and I didn’t want to say something I know I would regret so I deactivated and never went back.

Never had the desire to have an account. The second they come out with Assbook, I’ll be a charter member.

Never got sucked in and have no desire to have a page.

Only problem is that my local news channel website requires FB to post comments. Not that I need to post there, but it was amusing to put up comments that could be taken in many different ways.
