Is There any way to Escape From Meta(facebook) Survilence.

  • First of All I dont like whatsapp and Asked my contacts to use Signal instead to message me. Some of them did but many didn’t because They don’t mind their personal data being send to pervy facebook’s survilence server. They Say things like “Am I doing Any Crime Then Why Should I Care” and “Only Criminals Will Try To Hide Their Conversation”. Its hard to ignore whatsapp as most people will never to make a switch to signal or any other messenger.

  • Secondly I am tired of telling my friends to stop using Instagram. They are very addicted to it and can’t leave its algorithm and slop. I don’t use instagram for reels I only use it to communicating with my friends who only DM me reels and posts

  • Lastly I don’t use facebook but many person I know uses it, when I took a look at it I was able surprised to see many unrestricted NSFW content was there under recommendation panel also Saw the same on instagram.

Any Recommended Stratergy To make them ditch Meta ?

    You are looking at this wrong. That is a false dichotomy. You don’t need to make your friends stop using the other apps. Just ask them to have both and use Signal to chat with you. What they do other than that is their own business. Sure, educate them, but don’t tell them what to do. If they downloaded the other app and you can talk to them there then your good to go delete the other one. Are you worried about missing some post of theirs on it or something? Who cares. You don’t need to see peoples lunches.
