Ditto. In fact, it’s the Cable Public Affairs Channel, so I even forgot that it was Canadian, until I got a few lines into the post and started thinking. “Wait a minute…”

that’s my issue as well. Plus several of the musicians around here use FB to post invites to the shows they do.

In my little corner of the world it’s the Children’s Program Administrator Credential…(a higher ed certification for directors of early childhood programs) and we could use the money!

Yeah. Despite the opinion of the person up above, the truth is that FB is far too dominant… and more importantly: too convenient for older people for whom the internet is not really a part of their lives… a service right now to be able ignore.

He does have a point though. If me and my wife could get updates on family reliably through other means, FB would be deleted in a heartbeat. Only issue is it’s one of the main ways we get to see our granddaughter’s pictures.

Maybe try to persuade your granddaughter’s parents that you are really not comfortable with Facebook for reasons of principle (or whatever) and ask if they could perhaps also post the pictures elsewhere or use one of the other myriad ways of sharing available in today’s digitally connected world? (And you did say “one of the main ways” implying you do have others.)
Not addressed to you directly, but in general people do need to be persuaded to make some minor amount of effort to avoid FB. But the digital age monopolists know that inertia selling is very compelling. Inertia selling never reflects well on the inert.

Facebook is bad, but so are a lot of other ways of sharing family pictures.
Trying to explain to mom that a relative didn’t really forward pictures, just links to pictures that we can’t access… Bangs head.

Yeah - all that exanding bandwidth used to deliver moving images and nobody can email still images as actual attachments any more. (Joins in banging head.)
