Anyone else hate Facebook?

Just Deleted my Facebook account. Got fed up of shite and adverts on there and nobody messaged me anyway, never been a fan of it. Why don't more people come here instead? This is much better and nice not having to use your real name etc

When they asked me to prove my identity, the second time in 2016, that was the last time I was on there.

Twice is enough. I've refused to use the site ever since then.

I refuse to give any social media site my real name. They absolutely don't need it. It's only used to track you throughout the internet.

@DeWayfarer indeed i had that once and hated it, I don't want them to have copies of my I.D

@TheUnderdog it's not just your ID though. They'll accept any utility bill which also has your name and street address.

They want to know your exact location on top your name for demographics. The more active you are the more they can push certain types of advertising. And why you can't get rid of all advertising. That's their profit.

They don't need to sell your information which is why they allow you to turn that off.
