I was getting on fb, thinking I was up there for just 10 minutes at a time but I'd realize it'd be an hour. And I would be irritated my kids or anyone would try to interact with me when I was on it. I felt this anxiety all the time when I had fb. My anxiety levels have dropped tremendously since I did the permanent delete. My husband also deleted his.

It took several days (close to a week) with over 20 people complaining about it to have my personal information removed while these people were threatening to come to my house. The second was a photographer that use to take pageant photos was arrested for child pornography. Well, I received a call from some officers asking if a photo on his page was of my daughter. It was. It was a photo where he was standing above her and you could see down the front of her dress. Again, she wasn't the only one. he also had undressed children on his page. These photos stayed on this mans page for weeks with 100s of us filing complaints repeatedly.

Here are my two cents, Facebook isn’t bad, people are. The algorithm takes you to what is being discussed the most, hence controversial topics. But guess what geniuses, you can control what you are subjected to simply by unfollowing/blocking negative feeds and following/interacting with positive ones. It’s no different than real life and thank god for it. What missy is advocating for is control of what you are subjected to/restriction on what you can post or view. In other words, activism like this takes the power you have to control your feed and gives it to censors who pick and choose what you’re subjected to. “Facebook is bad, so lets give them more power over my life” is the moral of the story

To me it’s not about restriction or censoring information, it’s about having a moral compass. Yes, we all have the freedom to view and engage with whatever content we want, but things change when agenda based content begins to be used to manipulate thought and behavior. It’d be like a drug dealer standing at a school bus stop everyday taunting kids to use drugs. You could argue that at the end of the day, the kids have the choice to ignore the drug dealer, but at what point do we say that the drug dealer needs to stop and go away so that they don’t influence the kids? It’s a tough balance because you can say it’s simple marketing but it’s also manipulation.
