I'm a sceptic. I don't trust Facebook in particular but, more generally, I've never been a fan of the concept of social media platforms. My main concerns are;
There's obvious privacy issues
FB in particular seems to cause a lot of trouble for people what with ex partners, people they don't get on with etc
And
The time spent on it and it's evident addictiveness
I'm not on Facebook or Twitter and I'm sometimes met with open hostility when I tell people this. Not always but sometimes it's like the person I've just told this information is a junkie who's furious that I'm not also addicted.
I'm interested to hear people's opinions. Do we have other SM abstainers here?
Has you use of social media changed over the years?
Are you more or less careful now about what you share?
What do you think is good or bad about it?
Has recent news about FB changed your attitude to it?
