Or never installing Facebook to begin with!

Now what I want to know is: I’ve disabled “Hey Siri” on my phone so it can only be activated if I push a button. But you have to wonder… is my phone still actively listening?!

In this world today? yes, it's always listening, always tracking even when turned off

I worked in IT. Never installed or used FB, but that’s not the only threat to your privacy.

If feel the need to share anything with family or friends, I either call, text or email them. (I know, I’m so 1990s). I guess I’m one of those rare malfunctioning people that has no desire to feel fabulous, famous, envied or popular, nor to share my life with hundreds, thousands or millions of strangers.
