14. I've never trusted Facebook - from the beginning. I never joined.

And Facebook has never disappointed me. They've never been trustworthy.

Their lack or privacy - and the release of massive amounts of private information several times.

Cambridge Analytica - that should've been enough to lose most of their clients - but that wasn't enough.

Not protecting clients from America's enemies during elections.

If Facebook said we're going to come to your house and shoot you and your family - would that be enough for people to leave?

I really don't get it. People have no clue. Again.

I guess the "People don't have a Clue .... And they don't want one" will remain a common theme.

They don't realize that America has been under attack and Facebook is just one of the battlegrounds.
