  Decades?

  Facebook was launched in 2004, and I don’t remember any large movement against them in 2006, that only really started going mainstream with the 2019 Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal.

    No, it started before that where employers were asking for things like your Facebook page. Now they are requiring a LinkedIn profile. Everyone requires your phone number to register with their service. Then they can arbitrarily decide to ban you from their service. There should be massive lawsuits about this.

      Yeah I remember deleting it by 2012 (was still in school) because the idea of stalker employers searching what I said many years ago was really creepy.
