Social Media , at least here in the US was a DARPA project to gather information.

Many folks would resist providing information to the government , yet will gladly divulge information to Face Book, Instagram, X, etc.

The folks at FB, Twitter, etc got extremely wealthy , the government gets their information and can push forth ideas, propaganda, etc via those same platforms.

I am a seventy-something raised as an old school conservative.

Two conservative principles were hammered into me.

NEVER bring unnecessary attention to yourself.

Don’t go around sticking your nose in other people’s business.

By the same token don’t go around telling everyone your business.

Hence, I never subscribed to a social media account.

Thank you for sharing your insight.
Many citizens in U.S. refuse to engage in Facebook, Twitter etc
