I think Facebook was convenience and practical
What do you think about this

Hello!

I use Facebook every blue moon, mainly when I want to know what my friends from afar are up to. However, I really hate the idea they're the ones who track most of our information. The recently unfolded scandal about Facebook and Cambridge Analytica confirms my fears. I really feel like deleting my account, but I know it won't suffice, since they've already stored lots of info about me that they'll keep even when I decide to call it a quit.

Frankly, Facebook's not my cup of tea.

I have deleted a Facebook app from my phone because I noticed that I spend a lot of time there and I don't get any benefits. However, I still have my account there, but I use it only on my laptop at home. I think that people are overvaluing Facebook and its importance. We forgot how to interact with each other. When you go to dinner with some of your friends, everyone is scrolling a Facebook feed or Instagram. I think that it's an addiction.
