I had an account on FB for some years. But it was very uncomfortable to feel the rising of the commercial part of FB, the announces, the mining of private data, the doubts regarding the material posted to FB and it's ownership, the control of the activist sites, their shameless love affair with the big capital, etc, etc. Now I have been absent from FB for several months and I don't miss it a minute.
