I have a Facebook account I only use for info from my town, favorite author new book announcements, favorite store sales, etc. There is nothing personal I am not connected to any friends or relatives and I put a bogus country in. I look in about once a month.
Today when I checked I got a pop up survey. Paraphrase:
I got a weird one a few weeks ago from Facebook asking me all these questions about Leslie Jones. How did I feel about her, and how close did I feel to her by following her page and how close I felt to other people who follow her page.
It was especially odd because I had just “liked” her page many months ago and hadn’t really looked at it. Occasionally I’d see a status update from her.
I have noticed Zuck’s all about fighting fake news these days but lately almost all my “trending news” is from political blogs, not a regular news site. I’ve seen Daily Caller and Breitbart a lot. I don’t look at that stuff. I don’t know why it’s targeting me. Used to be I’d get something from CNN or Reuters then a local news source. Now it’s all political garbage and celebrity news.
This all sounds like a foreign language to me. I don’t do facebook, never have. I have overheard my kids discussing it.
It makes me anxious to think of everyone knowing or reading and commenting on my life. And I don’t give a FF what your life is all about. I am selfish that way.
Shortly after my OP I joined a group for my local town. I thought “Oh great I’ll know the true story about crime and traffic in my town.” Yikes so much minutia.:smack:
