I wanted to buy something second-hand. Unfortunately, Facebook Marketplace is the shit where I live. So I thought I could quickly register, contact the seller, and delete my account afterwards.

However, I refuse to participate in this insanity. Video selfie my ass, Facebook.

    Most of those are indeed bullshit since authorities have better platforms and businesses don’t need to know your private info.

    But women doing background checks to see what kind of men they are dating on the only platforms they have access to is just security. You can even leave your accounts info fully locked except for friends.

      No, it’s quite healthy to each having their private account they don’t share with their partner. Guess what the reverse is.

        Huh

        Edit: apparently I’ve angered people by not knowing what this means. It sounds like multiple levels of sarcasm but whatever

          I don’t follow either. It sounds like they’re talking about couples making joint Facebook accounts, which is a complete non-sequitur from all the comments before it.

          But I might be wrong, as it seems a lot of people understand something that we’re missing. Would anyone that understands this better mind giving some clarification?
