I am. I usually use it to play 8 ball pool. It was interesting on question time as they talked about facebook that we all think it is free, but the fact is we are their customers, by posting and clicking likes.
It comes after a week mark the owner is under the spotlight with the failure to protect the users info with the cambridge analytica scandal, the biggest revelations so far ![](/icons/s/razz.gif) |

I did the whole removal of apps who are using my data. There were apps in there that I didn’t even recognise. The worrying thing is that Facebook tells us they use our data, and they even state that apps our friends use can see our data, but they rely on people not reading the small print! |

there is an alternative to Facebook called Minds.com
And the alternative to youtube is bitchute.
There are lots of people leaving the sites and moving to alternatives built on blockchain technology that cant be censored.
The people who own the newspapers, tv channels and publishing companies are crapping themselves because alternative ideas and points of views are being spread online.

There's a reason for the man cave.
I get to choose who I share my time my life and my thoughts with...
Without becoming free content for an advertising platform that has always done what it always did... |

I post cat videos & keep in touch with friends who love a distance away. There’s no link to Fab & I don’t gonon it much so I’m not too worried ... but agree it’s worrying how many people have no idea what is happening with their data! |

Think you got the name wrong OP.
Isn't it really called "Little Black Book" where people keep.in touch with old friends for secret hook ups?
We never use any social media with the exception of Fab. |

"Got out of the whole Facebook thing years ago. My life's much happier without social media in it
You do realise fab is a social media source right? "
It's not really the same though is it. |

I joined about a year ago and it is great for keeping in touch with family( my lot are all over the globe)
The most disappointing thing about it is that I now realise quite a few people I liked and classed as friends are actually narrow minded bigots! |

Sporadically.
i just got sick of all the fake crap on the likes of Facebook and instagram. It's all a facade,
Atleast there's an end game with the bullshit in here ![](/icons/s/rolleyes.gif) |

I do, but then I use twitter and Instagram too. Touch wood never had an issues. I used to be one of these with over a thousand ‘friends’ but now have just under 50 that I’ve all met lol.

I have a Facebook account but don't use it much.
I only really use it to entice people to go to Cals gigs and be nosey. The security settings are all fully utilized.
Cal uses his a lot.. but mostly for gig and music related stuff.
