So sorry you chose Facebook Live as your channel, and not something available to everyone, and not needing a subscription or registration. We have seen the great damage done using social media, and know that once you are registered, you become a target for advertising, not to mention propaganda of all persuasions. Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t need my data. Good luck. I will hope to find this on another site.
