Apart from AULRO?…

I would consider a 'phone as an example of a social medium.

I'm on some Facebook groups for Jeeps and for the marketplace. Unfortunately FB has taken the vast majority of the sales entries from sites like AULRO, Gumtree and Ebay so if you want used bits it really the only place to go. I completely agree with Inc's point about historical data being only easily findable for a very short time. I have documented a couple of Jeep projects on there and a week later they are effectively gone. The other thing I've noticed is that the level of knowledge on Facebook is dramatically lower than on here where a difficult technical question rarely goes unanswered.

As some have said, it's your choice to use or not use a particular social media platform.
As for the ones that deem FB to unethical to use (again your choice) but does the ethic standard apply to other companies or organisations?

*YouTube
*VW group (a convicted criminal organisation).
*JBS food group - might be a hard one to avoid as they are one of if not the largest meat food processing companies in Australia (search jbs foods corruption)
*Do we dare mention Toyota, Hino?

Not even mentioning oil, tobacco, chemical and pharmaceutical companies.
There is no poster child of unethical companies and I find it a bit odd to single out one social media scumbag company while eating meat, buying a car and fuelling it up and then going off to work for a mining company.

As said already the biggest drawback to FB is if you see a post then want to go back to it, good luck finding it again.
