I deleted my FB account 8 years ago because it was a cesspool of misinformation and lies. I heard they introduced fact-checking, but some of the stories 1poorlady sent my way were still rubbish (mostly). She still uses it to keep in touch with family overseas, but if she tells me "I saw on Facebook..." I interrupt and ask "did you verify it?".

Keeping in touch with family is fine. But anyone thinking they are keeping informed with FB is seriously deluding themselves.

And, yes, you can actually DELETE your account. I didn't just close it, I deleted it. I had to google how to do it because they had it buried deep in the menus/settings. They really don't want you doing that.
