I woke up during 9/11.
Could kind of see where Bush, at that time, was hurrying to roll out militarized police state post 9/11.
FB was being eagerly adopted during this time (2004).
I could see it was being rolled out for nefarious purposes.
Told family/friends it was being used to spy on them (build out a network)
They thought I was a crazy conspiracy person back then.
Little did I know that [they] were building this thing for mind control and physical targeting of people/groups. Once/if public finds this stuff out, they are going to freak out.

I am right there with you.
I was awake long before 9/11 but at the time I was working for a Fed Fire Dept and knew what was on the horizon. I walked away from that job, and started to notice the buildup of the deep state.
Many people will freak out, but I have also seen many people indifferent to data collection- the idea "if I am not doing anything wrong" but they continue business as usual.
It is going to be ugly.

I agree with all of thT . Facebook cancelled me in Jan 21 Charlie luke many . its like i don’t exist anymore with many friends family though. thats the shitty part .

I had an account, way back around 2005, but it was connected to a Fire Dept at the time.
One of my friends tipped me off, early on and the account was shut down in 2006. I knew about the data mining because I had a sub on my old You Tube channel that was Mil Intel and warned me to be cautious.
I never have had many friends, by choices I have made, but the ones I do, I cherish- and yes, you are one of them!
