Facebook Is Taking Over. Privacy Concerns

[dieseldick]

facebook has used its app to hijack my messages etc, last night i went to send a message using the built in samsung messeging and when i went to type it states ( unable to send messages ) i do not know how to undo this , maybe i will uninstall messenger then reinstall it again later.

oh, and i really have an issue now with using facebook as i see when i log on i get friend invitations from people i knew like 4 years ago and do not even have their phone number anymore these contacts just pop up on sv=creen, im thinking " wow " i did not even have that girls number for 5 years now why is she on my friend suggestions list " it could not have got her name up through my email either which was maybe connected to an old phone number as i only made this current email address 2 years ago , so i am shocked how facebook are able to do this.

just found this link, seems facebook is really taking over everything and what will it be like in 10-20 years from now -

will it be a case in future that if one does not use facebook and its apps then you will be left behind ?
