Yes you do. And you can't close it or even know what it contains.
Unless, of course, nobody in your entire network of friends, family, or professional contacts has ever used Facebook at any point. Then maybe they don't know who you are.
Pretty sure this quote has been repeated countless times on this forum, but it fits perfectly here.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
Honestly, it's probably worth it to read far more of God in the Dock: Essays on Theology than that one quote. For instance, to mine nothing more than other parts of the same paragraph:
If the justification of exemplary punishment is not to be based on desert but solely on its efficacy as a deterrent, it is not absolutely necessary that the man we punish should even have committed the crime. The deterrent effect demands that the public should draw the moral, 'If we do such an act we shall suffer like that man.' The punishment of a man actually guilty whom the public think innocent will not have the desired effect; the punishment of a man actually innocent will, provided the public think him guilty. But every modern State has powers which make it easy to fake a trial. When a victim is urgently needed for exemplary purposes and a guilty victim cannot be found, all the purposes of deterrence will be equally served by the punishment (call it 'cure' if you prefer) of an innocent victim, provided that the public can be cheated into thinking him guilty. It is no use to ask me why I assume that our rulers will be so wicked. The punishment of an innocent, that is, an undeserving, man is wicked only if we grant the traditional view that righteous punishment means deserved punishment. Once we have abandoned that criterion, all punishments have to be justified, if at all, on other grounds that have nothing to do with desert. Where the punishment of the innocent can be justified on those grounds (and it could in some cases be justified as a deterrent) it will be no less moral than any other punishment.
and
To be 'cured' against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level with those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals. But to be punished, however severely, because we have deserved it, because we 'ought to have known better', is to be treated as a human person made in God's image.
This is one of my biggest reasons why I am not getting the covid vax at all, no matter what.
If the covid vax is so good, then why use the tools of liars and tyrants instead of honest debate with evidence?
Anybody with a history within the Gamergate movement knows that if something that is not obviously a troll was censored, it means that they are afraid of the truth.
This is the greatest threat to humanity -
If we don’t reject facebook’s “AI assisted brainwashing” then we are sowing the seeds our destruction
I need to use Facebook as for example https://facebook.com/groups/arthurtheking/ is literally only such place on the internet.
I also use its Messanger to communicate with people I know.
I don't have a Facebook account, I never did and I never will.
The terrifying thing?

But even then, they probably would.
Builds a mass censorship engine.
