Mike, the aforementioned social sites are garbage to start with. I tried them quite a few years ago, but was smart enough to realize just how dangerous (prone to government spying and deceitful behaviour) they are. Perhaps you are unaware that one of the common definitions of Fascism which emerged from academia over 30 years ago was a conspiracy between government (the state) and major corporations resulting in constant surveillance, spying on people's political and social beliefs, the telephone and internet systems, using electronic and CCTV means to do that spying, etc. That problem has become much more pervasive over the last several decades. I consider the former democracies - The US, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, and the rest of Europe, Australia and New Zealand, to now be fascist states. The revelations of Ed Snowden re the US spy apparatus and of Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi re Twitter demonstrate that perfectly.
