I'm flummoxed about people hating Face Book. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to "manage" Face Book--deleting all ads (there's a "never see this ad again," and/or "delete all ads from this vendor") never open any news feeds, unfollow any friends who post too many (or any, for that matter) political opinions, whether I agree with them or not. Consequently I never get any political commercials or directed statements from any friends. Instead I get pictures and posts from friends and family that help me keep up with their lives. A long-time Michigan friend just went through a year-long battle with cancer. Her daughter started a FB group, "Updates on Mom," that kept us all in the loop. My friend was too sick to even be online. Without Face Book, we all would have been in the dark about her.
I've gotten nothing but good out of Face Book after teaching it years ago what I wouldn't respond to.
