People left Facebook because it got overwhelmed with their parents and grandparents, not because they ever cared about privacy.

Idk, literally everyone I know has a Facebook page. They may not use it, buts it’s there almost like a listing in a phone book.

Facebook won’t let me login to delete mine unless I send them a photo of my drivers license. Not gonna happen.

I know not a single one who has that. My wife uses WhatsApp and Instagram though.

I pretty much have to have some form of Meta account or else I’m considered “shady” by some people. I haven’t even logged in in years, but just saying the username is appaeently enough.
