Long gone, quit in '15. My primary focus was using it as extended address book, that proved useless when more and more people started changing their names out of/ for privacy concerns. Additionally, over time my feed had changed to not being worth the - highly limited, anyway - time I spent on it.
Since I use Instagram, which to this day I still find entertaining and worth putting some effort into (and therefore putting concerns aside), I'm still somehow "connected" to Facebook. Although I will say again and again, over and over again, that I'm highly skeptical of, and highly concerned about that company. Wouldn't trust them for a penny on anything.
It's only a matter of when, not if, I quit that, too.
Kind regards,
Oliver

FB is not the only platform where your privacy is compromised. The cat has been let out of the bag a long time ago. The only way to avoid it all is to become a hermit and not participate in society and that is less healthy than any perceived threat.
Everything that can be known about you is already available and has been for a long time, to the powers that be. I have nothing to hide so I don’t really care.
