I have been a member of facebook since 2008 but have recently had difficulty logging in. I have my own virus protection which I am paying for and my computer is under warranty so the manufacturers website is wonderful to assist me with any problems. However, Facebook is still forcing me to use McAfee to get back into my account. I tried this in the past and had files deleted so the manufacturer had to help me recover those files. Thank goodness my computer is still under warranty. I have used McAfee in the past and had no problems but I do not want them interfering and deleting files from my computer. Shouldn't someone be liable if they are requiring you to use a certain program. I guess that is my question--I am a retired teacher and counselor and don't frequent the social media as often as I use to. However, I still have a right to certain freedoms in this country and don't like anyone stepping on those. The enforcement has just begun--I suppose it will depend on the character of the younger generation and what they expect as a US citizen. They may not anticipate as much from their country nor may they demand the independence and respect that we babyboomers have. Sometimes I think we are witnessing the decline of America and all our rights just as the Roman Empire declined so may we. Sunshine in Texas
