Did it a couple of days ago. I deleted all my stuff and deactivated my acct. I realize how big it is and my acct is but a drop in an ocean but still, it weighed on my mind. I don't want to contribute to what's going on there.

I marvel that, with what is now known of how they manipulate data, how many are still completely willing to keep VOLUNTARILY going along with it.
