Just delete all Meta products. Lowering their subscribers will damage their business model. Eventually, they will only be able to advertise Teslas and AK-47s

I don't have much on fb. I never put my personal life on the site. Very few photos. Social media is not my life.

Thank you

How about "delete all your Meta Accounts!"

📌

That's why tik tok is popular

Going back to small mail, cash.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: DAMn, he's ugly!

Already done.

Pretty soon it’ll require a 100-step process to download the info to update settings… “Meta makes it harder than it should be to find and update these settings. The following steps are accurate at the time of publication, but Meta often changes their settings and adds additional steps.”

Please don't just share on this forum. Tell your reps in DC what you think. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money. We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com

No, you can still be anonymously tracked by embedded fingerprinting bits of code inserted into web pages. Using something like EFF's Privacy Badger to block these is helpful. (It's not just Meta, bloody everyone does this.)

They also have a Google container that does the same when searching.

Thank you!

Given how nefarious META are, can we be sure these ad tracking options even do anything? Any way to confirm they actually work?

Good points. Another idea: I'm sandboxing their websites into a dedicated container, and uMatrix + uBlock on Firefox so their scripts are not executed on websites.

Very enlightening, thank you.

Met my wife on FB over 15 years ago. I downloaded my info and deleted it over a decade ago. Not missing those old contacts, because I doubt they’d add anything to my current life. Harsh, but fair.

👏🏼 👏🏼 Same here. I went off FB for other reasons around 2010 and glad I did.

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED

Good to know!

Thank you

Awesome, I love the work you guys do at EFF.

I'm fed up with AI stealing content from us creatives, artists and writers for their plagiarism machines and the appalling amount of energy it requires to operate.

Just delete them. Delete all Meta accounts, X, TikTok, RedNote. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗔𝗹𝗹!

Thanks for sharing this!

You can close your account. So you have to wait 30 days. Dont let that stop you

I went to the grocery store last week. I go home and products I bought were magically on sale on Amazon.

Eat the tech giants. Bring the guillotine.

I just downloaded all my photos from FB. Departure date, 1/20/2025

Tell me a long from alternative that I can send family to. Bluesky is a great alternative for short form, but I want a long from, too.

Every day they come up with more tricks and shenanigans

Yes it does you just have to read the article and click on any and all necessary links to further instructions based on your phone type. And I know because I just read the article and followed the instructions

Hmmm... I had already done all of these steps except for the chrome extension. I don't even remember when I might have done so. Yay younger me! Current me is proud of you.

Yeah, my struggle is the alpaca groups. There are not a lot of camelid vets, but there are some great ones who share their knowledge freely on Facebook.

band together to co-op a forum. everyone pitches in to pay the server and hosting costs and maintain an ad-free self governed community.

I’m in a bunch of crochet groups as well. Maybe we start something similar here?

Many people I’ve talked to are deactivating, not deleting, their FB, Insta, and Threads accounts temporarily to make a point. Some can’t give up their long term connections, but leaving for a period of time is better than nothing.

As a knitter, I use Ravelry and skip social media. YouTube has lots of how-to videos. Blue Sky is safe place (for now).

Fair.

EFF is a corporate lobby grounp funded by Facebook's competitors. Just so you know!

Thanks I did all of this. Most of my settings were already off, but one wasn't. I also installed browser extension. It took me a minute to find the account center on Facebook though . Now I need to deal with my phone.

Then do the other stuff too - but also delete your profile.

📌

📌

This article is stupid because it says deleting your accounts isn't enough and then it talks about the first thing you do logging into your account. Stupid

Facts. This is why I turned off location sharing and will not download Meta onto my phone.

📌

Did yu read the part about how deleting "it" isn't enough?

Thank you!

Done! Thanks for the PSA

Salvar

Thank you for the easy to follow instructions!!

How far are we? Can we make it happen? All the Social Media Platforms like Instagram Threads Facebook are on the Boycotting Lists! While not shopping on Thursdays and joining Blackouts and Company Boycotts, it’s important to transition to more ethical platforms if we want to see change!

Via their platforms the commons has been expropriated, and enclosed. You will not find the EFF ever having opposed that, in fact they have always aided and abetted. 2/2

That literally makes no sense. Seems to me like you are just stringing conspiratorial words together to bolster your non existent case. Best wishes.

Wow! Thank you !!!

Not mine; never been there.

Permanently Deleted!!!

Thank you! I just did this!

So glad I never went on those

Done, thanks for the info!

📌

📌

Done!

They'll just stop giving us the option if it costs them anything, but i hope people do it anyway.

Got rid of them all over the kiss-ass liars

Sure is

TY L. C. 💙🦋🗽

THANKS

Four years ago I found my password and opened my FB profile. I thought it was gone. Nope. I downloaded all my info and put the kibosh on the profile once and for all

"The Real Solution: Strong Privacy Legislation" Yes, but not to be seen in the next 4 years.

/etc/hosts masking entries are your friends. Also install netguard as a first app to any new android mobile phone, replace SMS/contact/phone/mail apps with open&privacy ones, block any other apps (especially keyboard) and enjoy seeing google/meta/X/MS trying, failing and wondering who you are !!

All Meta accounts have been deleted #fuckzuck

Yep, same with 'Twitter'

I was using Facebook almost exclusively for Twilight memes and the Memories function, so I didn’t have much exposure to the toxic sides, but I had already noticed how bad Instagram was getting and kept putting “parental controls” on my phone to protect my peace. This was my last straw too
