I do not have an account on Twitter, or Facebook. It was even brought up during my job interview. They asked why I did not have a social media account. I responded with because I enjoy my privacy. Must of been an alright answer as they did hire me.

But thank god it is recognized at least now , not all feel the need to broadcast their life's and doings worldwide in a public way unlike forums. But there are those that really do not have a dam thing to hide, and can care less exposing their life's to the world in general. For some privacy is a big thing, others not so much.

I work at a large tech company so I assume that's why it was brought up during my background check.
