    I do not use this, but some may.

    Download your Facebook account .zip off their site, unzip it, then go to the HTML folder, open the contact_info.htm file. See records of who you've talked to on your cell—not with the app, just on your regular cellphone—and for how long.

    I've never trusted Facebook and it will be a cold day in Hell before I would ever create a Facebook account...

    ...or any social media account, for that matter. Entrusting my personal life to proprietary software and EULA contracts that are intentionally obtuse is just really dumb.

    Interesting article here:

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/27/facebook-knows-a-lot-about-me.html

    It's chilling enough to see what Facebook knows, but who Facebook shares that info with without your knowledge is even scarier.

    If I need to keep up with my friends and family, there's the phone and email. Not perfect, but still better than having every mouse-click logged for Posterity.

    Never been on Facebook, but someone pointed out to me the other day, Users are not the customers, they are the product Facebook sells.
