Um... maybe get a real life and real friends instead of being addicted to social media?

It's surprisingly doable - no one has ever died from not have a facebook account. No one has never not climbed the corporate ladder from not have a facebook account (the opposite is very true). No one has ever had a family disown them, forget about them, get confused who they are from not having a facebook account. Real friends will still call, get together, do things, and go places all without the "help" of facebook. Email of any flavor still works, as does SMS, and gasp snail mail. And of course that old faithful, realtime communication either by phone or in person is still oh so wonderful.

So put down the facebook koolaid and get a real life - it's amazing what can be done in the real world.

Staying away from FB doesn't prevent some stalker from creating a fake account using your real name and adding your friends.

the thing is facebook is taking too long to listen to our reports once it took forever to remove a page because it was not in English and the reviewers didn't understand, that's something that should not happen in a globally used service like Facebook

Except he does make a point.

The issue is that (unfortunately) social media accounts are seen as crucial to many employers in the contemporary Western world.
