I dislike Facebook / meta so much, I can't think objectively about the implications here.

I wonder how many people will just consent?

Why is this not an acceptable option?

It annoys me that we've given so much power to a single social media company by thinking the thing is so important that we have to have it.

Why can't we just stop using it? That's the only way to take back power.
