I would ask Laurence Fishburne, when he did we become friends?

So, to summarise this thread.

Facebook is the Matrix, Facebook is broken, therefore Neo won.

Pleased to say I only found out about this in the news today. I don’t use any products of Facebook 😆👍

Same here, if it hadn't been for this thread on cyclechat I would never have known.

I'm not a Facebookist either. Our band has a Facebook page, but Mrs D does all that stuff - I've never even seen it.

My life was in turmoil, glad it's all back to normal now.

Hundreds of posts in a short time many saying 'I don't have a Facebook'.

I believe every one, but it looks as if Facebook is more important to some people than they are letting on.

I'm one of the ones who "don't have a Facebook", despite being the OP of this thread.
I do listen to/read the news though.... And I will admit to once having a FB page, which is why I feel qualified to say it is utterly crap.

Actually, FB WAS useful for something, once.
When doing a sponsored cycle and trying to raise cash for a charity, I found it a convenient way of contacting a lot of friends and family with minimum effort, and in such a way that they could easily respond if they wanted to, or ignore it without causing offence.

Needless to say, I also don't have a Facebook.

It seems to me many small businesses use it extensively.

In my experience, small traders, independent retailers, tradesmen and the like often don't have a website, only a Facebook page.

In light of Monday night's event, they might want to re-think that. What happens if it all comes crashing down permanently? Which is not such an unlikely scenario at some time in the future. Businesses might be glad of an entry in Yellow Pages - the paper version!

Many of us don’t dispute the utility of FB for many. It’s just all the other surveillance stuff FB do. That we object to.

It is sad when you hear that people only stay in touch via FB. FB or nothing.
