I have facebook for a few forums like Aircraft Sales, Paragliding. We have a closed Family group on Messenger to see what the grandkids are doing etc. I use Messenger for Video call overseas friends. If I want the news ill go to website or search for anything else I want. If I want information I go look for it I don't wait for it to drop in my lap.
