EXcellent post. I made the mistake of adding my mum a few years back and now I get a few sideways glances and I think ‘shit I wish they didnt tag me in that photo’
You just made me realize how hard this dilemma is lol
I think that Facebook will eventually become “uncool” and fall out of fashion because it has so many generations of people on it. Literally everyone and their grandmother is there.
You hit the nail. That’s one reason why I shy away from FB but that’s just also the reason why most users like it! What a paradox.
