        Have you tried going to some of those lower end local used car lots? Before cl and fb we used to look through the newspaper and go to used car lots. I know you’ll pay a little more than from a private seller unless you haggle, but at least there’s a selection. No Facebook required.

      Instagram wanted that to re-activate my account after they froze it due to “inactivity” because I hadn’t logged into it in a couple of months.

      I noped out and abandoned it (because I couldn’t even delete it without first going through the privacy invision to reactivate it and login…)

      I’ve had two cases where phishers have tried to create an account to impersonate my aunt. My guess this is an attempt to curtail these phishing schemes.

    Run, run far away and forget you ever heard of fb!!

    The more this invasive behavior becomes the norm, the worse off ALL of us will be.

    Video selfie… Lol :) People who agree to this must be desperate to use Facebook.

    New rules stipulate the butthole must be visible for your privacy and security.

        Guess what? I have bought half a dozen cars over the years, and I don’t have a Facebook account. Somehow, being a normal human and doing normal human things is still possible without X, Facebook, Reddit, Tictoc, and Instagram. Or whatever this years social fad is.

    Haha that reminds me: I tried to create a blizzard account to play wow classic and they wanted me to complete a 20 step captcha that would have taken 15 minutes or so to complete. Utter madness
