The CCP style Social Score is coming folks and the Social Media is in on it.
Don’t post on facebook and Twitter. Don’t buy stuff at Amazon.
I have to figure out how to download my photos from years past that are on FB. I hope I can do it in some way it doesn’t take me all day.
I am not any. Thank you for giving me another reason.
I suspect that there are lists of peeps, like me, who have been anti-social online.
Advice bump. A FRee Republic is a Fun Republic. I do know about social media used for nefarious purposes.

How do you think that they gave you that “free” service?
What exact data are you stating is collected?
I VPN from a new non-five-eyes country each day.
I have no social media accounts.
I’m doing this via googlephone.
How vulnerable is that?
I have never had a Facebook account or a Twitter account. There were obvious downsides to not playing their game, but I decided that they would probably misuse my personal info if I gave it to them.
No regrets.
are there any social media platforms that are safe?
Good advice. A lot of the social media hosts names are well known and easily redirected to localhost in the /etc/hosts file. I think my host file is about 18.5k of such redirects.
Algorithms to put you and I in thought-prisons.
Not on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any of those, so at least that’s one thing in my favor. Never even got around to creating an account on Parler.
I signed off FB YEARS ago...and deleted the app on my new phone.
Have been watching church services because they have had open access. Then, blam, couldn’t see them anymore. Requires me to sign up.
That means we’d have to get off FR - it’s social media, too.
Yes, indeed. Thanks! Users should also look for and focus on browser, e-mail, phone and general network privacy.
You will have no impact here, these people are convinced it is better to 'stay in touch with relatives' on FB than genuinely worry about 'you-are-the-product' and how your non-FB traffic is sold to Big Daddy, Big 3, the Big 5, Big Pharma, Big Med, Big Big Big sooey.
They won't relinquish FB because they cannot get their minds around the idea that the US would allow any company to 'spy' on them. LOFL.
Thank you for your “vanity”!
How does one erase “social media” history most effectively?
