At least I couldn't find a way to. So I deactivated it and deleted the bookmark. It just got to be a waste of time. Plus, I hate all the data mining they do. And all the tRump posts were driving me nuts. The less I read about the tool, the better.

But I think It’s good too if people stay and fight. Post facts, fight the fake News etc

Im thinking about removing as much personal data like previous jobs, date of birth

So crazy how far they’ve gotten in so short a time, toward having major information on everyone.

how many of my old friends from HS had more common sense back then!

Among other things.

I liked the way John Oliver put it: "Oh, what a shame... I guess Craig sucks now..."

Thx
