Who’s gonna pay me not to use Facebook? jack

Psyche!!

Yeah, right. Ok...aren’t they taking our answers already? And for free, and by force (with no violence)?! Aren’t selling the data already ages ago? My guess is, they are loosing money and reputation because of no creative ideas and no good maintenance. This is a desperate call

'won't sell the data...' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ahhhh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I know few will admit it, but I bet almost everyone immediately went there to see how much they could earn.

anyone who trusts FB at this point is naive.

They might want to test the effectiveness of encrypto-currency plan,may be ,may be .

That's nice they should pay me for the data they already sold first
