Meta must change how it does business away from profiteering on the back of our personal data.

Instead, our report suggests other advertising models that can respect our rights, like contextual advertising or subscriptions for advertisers.

Meta profits by using your personal data for advertising.

By crunching your data into profiles, you become a target for advertisers and a cash cow for Meta.

Their latest attempt to claim to have honoured people's opt out request while ignoring the actual issue is shady stuff.

You have a legal right to object to your personal data being used for the purpose of targeted advertising.

Meta even admitted they must respect this right when they settled Tanya O’Carroll's case against them.

So why gaslight the rest of us?

It's up to us if we want targeted advertising or not. It's about consent.

Meta's attempt to gaslight us in the hope we'll get tired or confused is another tactic to uphold an advertising model that isn't operating lawfully.
