Thanks for that Ally, much appreciated. It does produce more questions :- If "they" already have my details ,what difference will it make if for example ,i were to stop viewing classic hymers? What is a safer way to use facebook?
is it anyway safer just to view facebook as against making "postings"
is it possible to delete personal information from facebook?
is "messenger" ok?
Classic Hymers group isn't the problem, its the platform they are using - Facebook.
Messanger, facebook, whatsapp, instagram and all facebook products are vile, if you have one, then by proxy you have them all, they all share between them.
Here is one way to use Facebook safer (but not safe) -

You can completely delete your data on facebook, but do they still keep it? who knows. By using Facebook wether you post to it or not they are constantly collecting your personal life. If you have the app on your phone they know when you open your bank account app, they know when and how you pay for things, basically nothing is safe from the bastids. Same goes for messanger and whatsapp and instagram.
Do YOU care? that's everyone's choice, but if you listen to experts, it's foolish not too care. However most don't care. *I* DO a LOT.
Safest way - fake name, an email address you use for nothing else, wrong DOB, inside a container as per the link above, on a pc and the browser you use for facebook must only be used for Facebook.
If you insist on using the Facebook app on your phone then you must have all security settings at their highest and open links in an external browser, however, it only helps a little, the app is the main problem, but facebook is the overall problem and all its other software.
Same goes for whatsapp on your phone. My advice? remove it and use
https://signal.org instead.
If it's FREE, you are the product.
