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.

+1 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.

Had an Orkut account once. It proved to be more than enough :)
