It's hard to know where to start in describing the problems with Facebook (FB). My original concern was their obnoxious policy of claiming ownership of all the photos and other content any user posts. For the last several years, FB has become little more than an echo chamber and a platform for spreading disinformation and outright lies ("stolen election," anyone?). But the last straw was their grossly inadequate security policies. After my email was compromised in a large-scale data breach by another large company, someone used it to log in to my FB account. To their credit, FB sent me an alert, and I followed their steps to "secure" my account, including setting up 2-factor authentication (2FA) through my authenticator app. Then, a few days later, I got another alert from FB that someone had accessed my account and changed my password. This should not have been possible, as no one has had access to my phone (the only device that uses my authenticator app), so I can only conclude that there is some major flaw in FB's security, including their implementation of 2FA. I have deleted my FB account, and will never use FB again.
