    In Denmark you can opt out of spam not addressed to a specific person. And Post Nord doesn't deliver those anyway.

    My personal experience is very far from the writers. I only get posts from friends or groups I follow.

    The ads I get at least look to be from reputable companies/organisations.

    I am not in the USA, and I also block what ever groups fb thinks I should follow. So that might influence my experience.

    That said, facebook does feel like a dying beast. And I for one won't miss it.
    But all my friends are there so I have to be for now.

    The way it works in Denmark is that first you get a physical examination and complete an IQ test. Then you draw a number (the Lottery) and if the number is below some threshold you get drafted.

    After you see your number, but before you hand it over, you still have the option of volunteering. Which gives you more choices in what you are going to do and where you will serve.
