All best avoided, IMO. T&Cs of most of them (fb, twitter, tiktok, etc,
etc.) mean you waive your right to privacy - despite what they say.

They may not have started that way, (the forerunner to fb was initially
set up to stalk a girl - creeeeeeepy), but they are all now in the
business of selling data to whoever wants to buy. Mostly to target
advertising at specific audiences.

There is an exception; The Fediverse(1). Open source and
decentralised. Since most instances are run by volunteers, it's usually
a good idea to bung the operators a few quid every now and then, to
assist with running costs. Especially since there's been a a large
upswing in users since the Musk take-over of the bird-site (aka twitter).

(1) Most well-known is software is Mastodon, but others exist.
