So now perhaps people will understand why I didn’t want to hand all my personal details over to Facebook

If you sign up to Facebook you agree to giving Facebook rights to every single thing you put on there. I didn’t like the sound of that so I have never joined, and even though a few friends have tried to make me feel like a social pariah I don’t care. Now I feel vindicated because I know for sure that I’m not one of the 50 million or so whose personal data have been passed around. Maybe now they’ll understand why I didn’t rush to join the flock.

Well done you. I'm not on FB either. Today at the bank we had to give permission for certain details to be shared with certain other parties but sometimes you have no option but to do as you're asked or you can't move forward. We were simply trying to close an account.

I do not have a single App nor do I have my FB account in a public mode.

I'm not sure that being in a public mode or not makes any difference, everything you put on there is still the property of FB, that's what it says in their terms and conditions (at least it did when I looked into it).

@Fleura Besides my name and email address I have not given any details. It is murder if they give out our email addresses. Will myLot and various other sites where they have our email addresses give away our email addresses too? It will be as bad as that. Also those Apps too walk away with a lot of info.

I was on FB years ago but haven't been there for ages. Did not give them too much info either.

It doesn't matter to me. I do not have so much personal data on there and it is a great way for me to keep in touch with the online friends i have made through the years and my actual friends from the states and just posted my page for my book of poems so it is something I need right now.

I'm on Facebook but I never use it the most you'll see from you if I repost something or like something I don't add very much information

Yes some people seem to think they can put stuff on there and it will be separate from everyday life!

You are so right, I joined to keep in touch with a cousin who has a FB account. I do not post photos, personal stuff, personal info there. I am even very careful using their Messanger.
