#Winning: Facebook "Fake News" Flag Makes People MORE Likely to Click

Regarding social media:
I am proud to say I am free of all Social Media (exceptions being gmail, YouTube, and WhatsApp).

I recently dropped my Linkedin account. It does _appear_ to be the least offensive, and most useful social media network. However, it has some of the creepiest network generation algos and mechanisms in place. And for that reason, it must go.

Case #1: I signed up to Linkedin with my icloud email account, which doesn't have any emails in or out. Within 2 months it suggests my girlfriend as a connection (different industry, no 2nd or 3rd connection). It's clear it is not serving me, but rather is generating a web of inter-personal connections.

Also I am looking to drop WhatsApp, maybe going to Discord or Signal. There was an instance where I was babysitting a dog in our apartment. It shat on the carpet so I sent a WhatsApp message to my girlfriend "Pedro has defiled the carpet." . She might have had a verbal in-person discussion with the dog's owner... that evening she was getting instagram ads for Dog Wash, Carpet Cleaning Services, et al. Creepy!
