"".. or just resist joining and using any social network sites in the first place.....""

I never had any intention of joining FB or any other such until real world friends told me that FB pages were purporting to be me and two Club organisers cancelled gigs because they felt their members wouldn't like my political stance (I was portrayed as a Fascist supporter).

In order to find out what is being posted in your name and take action to report it you have to be a member, so you can be adversely affected even if you don't join.

That, to me, is the most deplorable state of affairs, that they increase their membership and their income by having non members bullied and forcing them to join in order to deal with it.
