Was sent the text from a FB post by someone I know a couple days. Looks like some people are waking up.
Text from post is below.
All,
In the near future (3-5 days to allow for time to offload photos and videos) I will be completely deleting my Facebook account. It has become abundantly clear that Facebook has been grossly negligent with all of our data and have been farming it out to 3rd party companies. Facebook knowingly left exploitable gaps in its security to allow for the harvesting of data from hundreds of millions of users via apps.
Facebook can continually track your location and collect your data even if you turn it off in the settings on your iPhone. This also includes access to your camera roll, address book, contacts and other data through other apps as well.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If the app is free then you can count on them farming user data to help make them profitable. As the saying goes "If you are not paying for the commodity then the commodity is YOU!".
Your personal data is worth far more than you realize and FB does nothing to protect it. I strongly encourage all of you to read what I have written below. Please share this information with everyone you know in hopes this can be stopped.
They are collecting all of this data and they have definitely been using it. People put their entire lives on FB. What guns they buy, where they vacation, where their favorite places are, what their interests are, their health issues, family status, kids, cars, assets, and countless other pieces of data.
When you put together that data it can give an accurate image of a persons entire life.
I leave you with this. Please pay attention to this because it should alarm you.

This is not a joke. You can research it yourself as all information is available to the public and can easily found via google searches or by using Duck Duck Go.
Please learn the value your personal information because many people already know the value and have been using it to exploit every one of us. They use this to influence what you see online and steer your decisions through advertisements/tailored content.
No one should steer your life but you.
Ask yourself why Zuck offloaded 1.14 MILLION shares of stock before they hit the scandal earlier this year. (link below) This was right before he had to testify before congress - He did on April 11th 2018

Is this all starting to make sense? Join me and many others in dumping Facebook. Email your loved ones, call them, face-time them, or go see them! Convenience is not worth the price of our digital souls. Sadly many people have already paid that price.
Some sources are below. There are many others that I didn't include that can easily be found via a google search or duck duck go.
