For me, once I settled down, I'd discard all these platforms especially Facebook. They are all intruders. I'd only stick with LinkedIn and YouTube. Facebook has been bastardized. I'm very worried about what Facebook would dig from my old Facebook account and post to the world once I become the President of Nigeria. I don't trust them. Richy4:I can't tell the date and time due to uncertainty. And I'd have said by that time my posters would flood NL but I can't tell if I'd be on NL by then. NL is part of the platforms I'd discard once I get married. NL has been compromised. The other time someone uploaded a pornography picture in the first page of a thread and that thread was on front page. I called the mods' attention but nothing was done about it. Let me give you a hint. Look out for a thick, dark skin Enugu thoroughbred lady. Average height with nose ring. Sarah Theophilus by name. 73 Likes 4 Shares |

Good, it's getting to them too. You will hustle legitimately, paypal will just suspend your account indefinitely with your fund inside, giving you unreasonable reasons, they will use your money to trade for months, even block your account forever and spend your money. same with Amazon, who you wan sue? Like Twitter, like paypal... Like Facebook like Amazon these big companies act as if they are gods 101 Likes 5 Shares |

Silicon Valley Billionaires are way too powerful right now. Any sensible government should be worried and should enact legislation to check and regulate their excesses. Anybody who supports the Trump ban should check back in a few years, you'll see how bold their actions will only continue to get. 57 Likes 4 Shares |

Nanaborga:In a few years the massive censorship that'll occur will make Stalin scream in shock. It's already happening, youtube, twitter and fb are actively suppressing free speech and independent thought. An agenda is being pushed and it's crazy because the masses are too busy with tiktok to see their rights eroding. 43 Likes 2 Shares |

See an example of Censorship that killed a lot of people just because they wanted to remove trump. YouTube, Twitter, Facebook barred discussion on HCQ Chloroquine as treatment of Covid, but now that trump Is gone, they have started back tracking. 17 Likes 1 Share

Power has devolved, these tech companies have become more powerful than national governments, they have more details on citizens than the government of their country of origin/residence. Sovereignty means little or nothing to them and that is the reality that cannot be wished away. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Facebook plants tracking cookies that monitor your browsing history and report it back to FB servers. This happens whenever you visit the websites with FB “Like” plugins, even if you don’t use FB, however if you do, this information is automatically matched with your FB profile. FB knows about your health issues, the medications you use, the relationship problems you have,the porn you like, forums you post on incognito, etc. Secondly Whatever happens on FB servers, stays on FB servers. You can’t delete a pic uploaded to FB by mistake. It will show as “deleted” in your account, but Facebook officially confirmed it will stay on their servers indefinitely.Nothing like data privacy online anymore, Mark Zuckerberg knows to much, there is the video on youtube where he was asked qstns by a U.S senator bothering on this issues regarding data privacy and all that he was just blabbing.Omo this big tech companies needs to be seriously regulated its nothing a joking matter. 48 Likes 4 Shares |
