I would like to describe my impression of all the 'Free for All' social media APPs are alike oldtime 'Piracy'. Let us appreciate that becoming a Pirate was not an easy task. It was easier to work hard and become bright and acknowledged as expert in various fields of humanities, science and maths etc ... but to be a Pirate needed really strong guts and balls and pirates always raisked their lives and often lost it too.

As technology advanced bright really bright minds invented a new kind of profession - luring the vulnerable kind (and in context of free to use social media Apps - almost entire population of the world) and then stealing (or pirating) their personal data.

This is nothing lesser and nothing more than highly sophesticated piracy. These pirates are, under the present circumstances, considered genius and are highly regarded. Their net worth is multi-billions of Dollars - all earned throgh piracy of personal data of the highly vulnerable users.

To save your skin from these pirates the only method is not to be lured by "FREE" and not to use any free social media, but almost all of us have already fallen prey to one or more free social media Apps. Now is the time to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - I DON'T NEED MORE. There is no other way to maintain your privacy.
