Kathi, Thank you for your thoughtful and supportive response.
We feel the same about Facebook, but the important difference is that when an enterprise's profit motive leaves no - absolutely NO space for eliminating anti-public health protocols, anti-science and anti-Climate Change messaging; NO sufficient limitation on anti-democracy propaganda and conspiracy theories, which are a form of mind control and as anti-democratic you can get via communications businesses, I cannot BUY IN.
Facebook is an evil empire. Zuckerberg, along with Trump, much of the Republican Party, Charles Koch, the Mercer Family, Rupert Murdoch and too many others are the detonators of democracy.
This is strong porridge, Kathi, but it is mine. We remember the millions upon millions killed by lies, memory control, conspiracies, greed and power. Who and what are putting our country at great risk?
'In the Holocaust, the Soviet terror of the 1930s, the Chinese Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, and Cambodia's 'killing fields', communism and fascism generated human tragedies on an immense scale'. (The Cambridge World History) Where has the USA been headed? It is our job to do our best to turn it around.
We need a powerful campaign to address social media - Elizabeth Warren? It is practically impossible to avoid making some contribution to the autocrats', white supremacists', morally corrupt profiteers' hold on our country. We have to pick and choose as carefully as we can. There is no failsafe.
Thank you, Fern. I've tried to leave before, but when my account was hacked and so was my debit card, I thought it was time. I gave a few days to notify friends and family and voila! I don't miss it. I agree that we have moved too far to the right of "free speech" while ignoring the "never cry fire in a crowded theater" aphorism of common sense use of restraints. It's the AK-15 equivalent of bearing arms. And don't get me started about Citizens United!

I quit FB, Fern.
Hope, I am literally moved to tears.

Democracy thanks you. I know it does.
