I never joined Facebook and for good reason. They have been selling their user data for over a decade and people think this is news LOL! They already sold everyone's pictures to the gov't for use in facial recognition technology without telling any of the users.

Wake up and smell the horsesh*t! Facebook is pure corporate evil. The reason why it is free to join is because YOU are the product that is being sold. At least Steemit pays you for your content and you aren't subjected to advertising.
