I've warned people from the time I first registered for a Facebook account; It was clear that they were accumulating private/personal information, with no assurances of keeping your information private. It didn't take too long for the first of several occurrences where FB made private information available to third parties. What didn't help was the fact that FB changed their privacy policies & settings.
The latest FB fiasco involving Cambridge Analytica shows that they still do not respect members' privacy; Some 50M members' information was collected by a third party (CA).
I've only used FB to reach out to family members and friends on another continent, but have always warned them of the insecurity. Younger family members (20's through 50's) thought that FB was a better way of communicating. This may change their minds.
