Well Meta just made my choice on using Facebook pretty easy

Mielenkiintoisin tänä vuonna lukemani kirja Facebookin täydellisestä vastuuttomuudesta (globaalisti ja omassa organisaatiossa) on Sarah Wynn-Williamsin "Careless People - A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, And Lost Idealism. A Memoir".
Kirjoittaja meni firmaan idealistina hoitamaan sen kansainvälisiä suhteita, koitti aikansa saada asioita eettiselle tolalle ja sai lopulta potkut, kun ei ollut hiljaa pomoltaan saamastaan seksuaalisesta häirinnästä.

Be very mindful about the content you consume online.
You might think you are above its negative influence on your mood and thoughts, but you aren't. Nobody is.
The content you consume influences the way you think over time. Even if you are on a platform to fight the opposition, what the algorithm is feeding you there will have an influence on yourself over time.
Be careful what you feed to your brain.

Meta, Meta, Meta. So Meta. This Reuters report is 🔥
"Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show"
"Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day. Among its responses to suspected rogue marketers: charging them a premium for ads – and issuing reports on ’Scammiest Scammers.’

I've already got a digital ID card!
@neil Nepal’s decision highlights a global tension: **How do countries regulate big tech without becoming censors themselves?** On one hand, platforms like Facebook and X have *plenty* to answer for. On the other, **cutting off access** feels like a step toward digital isolation.
It’s a reminder of why **decentralized platforms** (like Mastodon) are so important—they can’t be shut down by a single government. But until they’re mainstream, users are caught in the crossfire.
P.S. Honestly, my dream solution? Ssocial networks into public ownership—because let’s face it, the current model is broken. Until then, this 😂 (but true) song sums it up perfectly:
😉🇯🇵 フェイスブックを規制しろ! 🇯🇵

Finally got through the process of downloading my old Facebook and couple of Instagram accounts data today. Pretty extensive! Had wait several days on Facebook alone.
Just clicked to confirm deletion of ALL my Meta accounts and couldn't be happier!
I have also mostly finished moving all +200 online accounts using my various gmail and outlook emails over to Proton Mail aliases! Coming for you next Google and Microsoft, so watch out!
It's hard work, but take back your data, privacy, and peace of mind from these big tech companies that profit from your doomscrolling and selling your data!
Thanks to all the folks on here, Reddit, and YouTube that have given insight, especially @techlore. Thank you!

Yet another reason people need to bite the bullet and delete ALL Meta apps and leave the platforms. Do you really want Zuck to have access to your nudes or politically sensitive stuff which he could then share with Trump?

TBH, I wish MPOW would delete the FB page already instead of the current waffling, but it is not up to me (and that is another story).
BTW, not just Meta; Meta just happens to be the biggest shithole.
