I have a lot of friends from Norway on FB so it was a way to stay in touch with them. It has some features that is good. But I hate the way they share information, and this Alexa and whatever, being able to turn on microphones on tv's, that pi***s me off to no end. I can't even see straight.
Yes. I understand. The Philly Region SCCA uses FB almost exclusively. Its usually open so anyone can see it, but it still annoying. Maybe this winter I'll figure how to join and still protect myself (and my sanity). LOL
As far as 'smart speakers' etc - there's guy who writes about this stuff that the Wash Post publishes. He even paid someone to hack the system to discover what coversations were triggered abd saved by the speaker.
