John Henry Thompson - A migration of my personal web sites
• Facebook.com should be boycotted for their crimes against democracy and on going threat to democracy. Facebook.com users should move all their content to a free hosting site like github.com.
• You should have full control of your content and social network, and not give it away for free to Facebook.com, an ethically compromised corporation.
• Content should avoid lock-in. For example, my site johnhenrythompson.com is hosted on google site which will disappear when the subscription fee is not paid. Alternatively github.com is free and thus there is a better chance for content longevity.
• Content is easier to preserve when it's in plain text and not locked in a database.
• Content is easier to manage when is not embedded in html and is in a human readable format such a markdown.

Facebook will pay an unprecedented $5 billion penalty over privacy breaches.
"The Federal Trade Commission announced a $5 billion settlement with Facebook (FB) on Wednesday, resolving a sweeping investigation by regulators into how the company lost control over massive troves of personal data and mishandled its communications with users. It is the largest fine in FTC history — and yet still only about a month's worth of revenue for Facebook." July 2019
