Ask HN: Who has never had a personal Facebook account
7 comments
Had an Orkut account once. It proved to be more than enough :)
I have never had a personal Facebook account. I technically have one but I only have it for Tinder and other such places that required a Facebook login. I have hundreds of "friends" but don't know any of them. I never post or read the feed.

Almost every day of every week I read (online) news items regarding the way that FB `handles' its `clients' privacy and/or data and I'm grateful not to be included!
Don’t worry, given their tendency to stalk non-users through embedded Like buttons and their app analytics SDKs I’m sure they still have you in the form of a shadow profile.
No FB account in any form, ever.
No Instagram account.
No Twitter account.
I have a LinkedIn account from 15 years ago that I never use. LinkedIn never "worked" for me. Because of that, I never bothered with any of the other "social media".

I have made a few 'fake' ones, but lord knows the data they got was real. Never had one under my legal name.
