Why you deleted Facebook or any other social network?

I never like FB to begin with, or Social Networks like it in general, but the thing that made me pull the trigger was the one day my greatest fear was realized: "I don't want to find out that I hate the people that I like", and lo and behold, one day I scrolled a little too far and discovered "well, I can never think about that person in the same way again"

1) Surveillance 2) Data breaches and misuse of personal data 3) Mental health

lack of intellectual, or substantiative content. chronic misinformation, and social engineering campaigns. surveillance and weaponization of data, and influencing.

I will reinstate why I did it:

1. Politically incorrect guy in a left-leaning social network it was a pain. Both relatives and FB bullied me. FB made me delete a post because it was controversial (I cheered that abortion law was ditched in my country) and relatives because they're not conservatives, they're more kind of USA's democrats. So it was really hard to me to express feeling without being insulted my everyone.

2. Continuous use of the social network and watching stuff that was useless. I came to realization people on FB are just part a big echo chamber. That's why I moved out and it was better.

3. FB plays with my data, bias me in the background and try to sell me progresive ideas all the time by banning the opposition by all means.

4. The battery of my phone lasts 4hs more.

I stopped with Facebook because of spying and narcissism. I stopped with Twitter because of selective tweet promotion and targeting - you're effectively giving a group power over your life guiding you what is right to watch or be concerned about. I don't ever want any media or pseudo-media company doing that. Presently I search a list of different sites with totally different leanings and try my best to capture the truth without the slant.

None of it is easy though.
