Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak recommends most people get off Facebook.
The 68-year-old engineer and entrepreneur said as much to TMZ in Washington D.C. on Friday.
"There are many different kinds of people, and [for] some, the benefits of Facebook are worth the loss of privacy," Wozniak told TMZ. "But to many like myself, my recommendation is — to most people — is you should figure out a way to get off Facebook."
Or Facebook and its competitors should give the option of privacy, suggested Wozniak.
"People think they have a level of privacy they don't. Why don't they give me a choice?" Wozniak tells TMZ. "Let me pay a certain amount, and you'll keep my data more secure and private than everybody else handing it to advertisers."
Facebook did not immediately respond to CNBC Make It's request for comment.
In April, 2018, Wozniak himself removed his Facebook account.
"I am in the process of leaving Facebook. It's brought me more negatives than positives. Apple has more secure ways to share things about yourself. I can still deal with old school email and text messages," he wrote before he deactivated his account, USA Today reported.
