This is actually a terrible idea - which I unfortunately used to ascribe to. Turns out that now all communications regarding the town I live in only happens through Facebook and WhatsApp - so when we get extended water and electricity cuts, guess who gets to be left out of the loop?
All the "clever" people who deleted Facebook and WhatsApp - that's who.

Yeah... I'm sure they'll stop dismantling what's left of our public infrastructure because I told them to. It's not like austerity is government policy over here or anything.
