No need to apologize, my decision and comments were in haste. If you could just
describe what your Facebook
link was about, go ahead and post it again, it won't be blind. But everyone should be aware that just last month
over
50 million user accounts were compromised. Back in March, yet another
87 million accounts. Not surprisingly Facebook is now being investigated in Europe and US for systematic, egregious corporate malfeasance. People will
continue to use "facebook" and similar sites anyway, but they should know what will almost certainly occur...their
personal and private information nicked for nefarious purposes and sold without their knowledge or permission.
For those interested in learning more, "A Timeline of Facebook's Privacy Issues" (NBC, 24/3/18):

Investigative journalism obviously isn't an NBC strong suit, so that news item serves only as a basic primer...
...but it's important to keeps things in perspective.
