I ceased using all social media in November 2022. Why?
Privacy and data security issues
Advertising is the driving force for all platforms
Disproportionate power by social media platform proprietors over users
Unsavoury individuals overseeing social media platforms
Over-promotion and spam
Deception and scams
Inaccurate and false information propagated by far right individuals and groups
Echo chamber for Point 7
Bullying, stalking, and harassment is rife
Hate groups are allowed to flourish and promote their ideologies unchecked
Superficial friends
Unwanted friend requests
Unwelcome political propaganda
Time-waster that contributes little to the world
