I do not have a social media profile, nor am I interested in one.
Here's one prime reason why.
Back several years ago I was injured at work (at no fault of my own). An F550 delivery truck driver was texting on her phone and she hit 3 cars in the road who were completely stopped while she was driving about 60 mph.
Needless to say, being the middle of the 3 stopped cars, I was slammed from the rear and also the front when my truck was launched almost through the car that was stopped in front of me.
Despite all that, workers comp hired investigators and people to follow me around and take pictures and essentially do everything they could to try to beat me out of it.
One of the things that their lawyer was complaining about during one of the several hearings was how I made my facebook go dark and took it down.
Needless to say, I've never had a facebook and it went down hill rapidly from there and the court reporter even had in the transcript where I called him a wormy bastard while I was answering one of the questions he asked me about a half a dozen different ways, but the jist of the story, they wanted to get information that I posted online to try to use against me in court. And since he didn't have anything from me, he wanted to try to get it from anywhere else that he could.
Since I had no facebook, the lawyer even asked for my wifes account name during the hearing. The judge told the lawyer that my wife was not on trial and he would not grant such a request.
But the short of it was, people use the information you and others post online. The easiest solution to that is just don't do it. With face recognition and the new age we're in, the less of a digital footprint you have, the better off you are.
