Crunchie, a courteous note re: this topic you created…
Please remember that Bob, and all of us here, have always been staunch supporters of free speech.
But blind links to Facebook...probably a bad idea. A really bad idea in fact.

Apologies, I probably should have copied and pasted all the text instead of simply posting a link. No harm intended.

No need to apologize! Actually it's me that should apologize, my decision and comments were in haste.
If you could describe what that 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 being investigated in
US and EU for corporate malfeasance. People are gonna use facebook and similar sites anyway,
but they should know what could occur: their personal data nicked for nefarious purposes.
For anyone interested in learning more, "A Timeline of Facebook's Privacy Issues" (NBC, 24/3/18):

Investigative journalism certainly isn't an NBC strong suit, but it's important to keeps things in perspective.
