John Morris Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 @lew, I am really liking this new alternative to FB, thanks for introducing it to me, I love it. I may start planning an FB phase out and jump in MeWe if the honeymoon lasts as I hope it does. For Facebook users, check this out at https://mewe.com/ For anti facebook users, they boast "No ads" no "Spyware" no "BS". Link to comment

I just forgot to post back here, it's as I suspected, my apps are tracked all over the place. I am in a unique position here though, I need the tracking and I need social media to track my topics and posts, wherever they are on social media. In my use case, tracking is a good thing, it's how I get the word out about our community here. So the tracking and privacy doesn't really bother me. The reason why I am phasing out FB, is for other reasons not to go into here, it'll open up a whole big can of political worms. That being said, I am a big supporter of Mark Zuckerberg, he has a business, he's getting rich, and it's up to the users to use his platform with caution. We are all responsible for our own actions, you cannot go on Facebook and expect any amount of privacy, your data will be tracked, your data will be sold. I know that, and I used it. Link to comment
