Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data
If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect and profit from your personal data, here’s what you need to know.

I used three Meta products:
Whatsapp, Facebook Marketplace, and Instagram. I've completely gone off Insta, I only really used it to see posts and reels my friends sent me.
I don't really know an alternative to WhatsApp and Marketplace that I can use. I'm very careful to not interact with any Facebook advertisements on Marketplace though.
Signal is the non-corporate replacement for What's App although realistically you end up having both due to network effects.
Signal is great. Think I read that WhatsApp will be forced to allow interoperability with other apps. Would be great if you could use Signal to access chats that started on WhatsApp. Fuck Zuckerberg. Whatsapp the only Meta app I use and only because the bastards bought it
Just start a new chat
This is what is happening to me, I can't force my folks to drop WhatsApp. Only a few have Signal
You can stop using WhatsApp without everyone agreeing with you. If they want to talk to you they'll find a way
Yeah, same, can't get my friends to quit WA
Exactly for me, but some group chats on Messenger.
