Because if you like using it, there is no reason not to use it just because Facebook own it.
No, not at the moment but I don't like the 'big brother' style of Facebook and the way they constantly change the security settings, in fact I just don't like the company full stop so I won't use it, just like I won't use anything to do with the Murdock group or Tesco.Funny old world but I have my reasons.

I was, until Facefuc£ took it over, on the boycott list now which is a shame as I found it had some quite good features.
How bizarre. I'm on Instagram, I follow my friends and they follow me.
I have no desire to boast and to try and big myself up to strangers.
It's mostly my dogs and interesting/strange things I spot.
I don't understand the whole idea of the more followers you have, the better you think you are. Why do you want loads of people you don't know or haven't met knowing your daily movements?

As an everyday user, there is absolutely no difference in the App. If Facebook bought Ferrari, would you never buy a Ferrari? Would you sell your Maserati (Had to do a bit of PH snooping for that, sorry)?
If Facebook bought Maserati or Ferrari I would hope they would treat my details the same way they currently do and respect client confidentiality. I can type anyone's name into Google and 95% will pop up with Facebook details. This can then be used to trace the owner, usually also giving away some very scary info, children, work details, etc .
Also it's easy for some so called 'friend' to see your spending a couple of weeks away and come and rob your place and take your Lambo key for instance ;-)

Make sure your settings are set to private then people will only see your name (which they knew anyway to Google it), cover photos and a small profile picture. Then you only accept people you see regularly and accept no random adds. Fairly simple.
I don't get the Instagram thing either. I'm on it and I love using it but trying to get random followers is a bit pointless. My Instagram is boring anyway... if you want someone worth following, follow sheridynfisher.

I don't really see the issue with the "spotters" to be honest, apart from the annoying kid who stood in front of me taking photos after the lights went green the other day. They're car enthusiasts who want to see expensive metal - I don't see the harm in that. Especially the younger kids for whom getting to events is hard and expensive. I often go for a walk around Chelsea/Kensington seeing what's out on show armed with an iPhone. I glaze over the plethora of 458s and even Veyrons now though and just go out looking for the classics.

Also, I dislike the way when people tag you it's open for anyone to see.
Too much of a PITA to keep tracks with it.
The other reason is that the youth of today turn into walking zombies, smartphone in hand 24 hours a day, checking their FB page.
I just dislike the whole idea now. What started as a good idea to keep track of your friends has turned in to a constant personally aimed marketing tool that has too much global power.
Maybe if some of the younger generation who like to moan about all an sundry like how life isn't fair, can't get a job, can't get on the property lader yada yada and ditched their online like by 50% they would find themselves been much more productive.
Rant over....

I agree with you, there is some knobs among us..I don't agree about glaze over Veyrons even after I have seen quite a few!

And that was fine, until they randomly update the security settings 'again'.

Right then... I suppose you just don't like Facebook. Also, I dislike the way when people tag you it's open for anyone to see.

I don't use it either though to be honest.Instead I pull all the girls in bars with my "30,000 followers on Instagram" badge.

This Aleem guy, Supercarkids, sycophants chasing cars round harrods etc. all make me puke a bit in the mouth.
Its especially sad when it involves people in their late 20s and 30s.
I guess it is like trainspotting.
