Looking on a FB page for a local ukulele group, it offered me names and pictures of friends of mine, suggesting that I invite them to join. If one of them were suspected of being in a spy ring or part of a gang of thieves, you can bet the police would come to my door at 2:00 AM and not bother knocking.

I'm reminded of the father of a 16-year-old girl who complained to Target that they were sending his daughter ads related to pregnancy and childcare. It turns out that Facebook knew the girl was pregnant before her family did because of the searches and comments she was making online.

This is yet another solid reason why I have never entered the dark world of FaceBook. As a senior adult, I have never found any compelling reason to allow Zuck and his minions access to any aspect of my life. Alas, there are so many alleged grownups all over the world who are addicted to a teenage level of social media presence and can't seem to function without constant interaction. No one has ever been able to give me a single reason to convince me to create a FaceBook account.

Heck, back in the non-digital days, I even always opted to have my telephone number being a non-published number in the telephone directory.

FaceBook can go kick rocks.
