What a joke of an article.
Keep using fuck book, just change some settings and maybe block some things in your browser. They even advise "turn off location access for meta apps" and "disable your phone's advertising ID", like those make any difference (apps can still infer location from IP address and nearby wifi and Bluetooth devices). Never mind how the back ends can associate all sorts of other data to determine your location.
I've never had a Facebook account, I've never even been on the website, yet Zucktard has a profile on me. And I've blocked scripts in my browsers since 2005.
The suggestions in this article won't do anything, and give a false sense of making a difference.
What did I post that was wrong?
This article was a bunch of BS with no actual help. (Very disappointing, because they're usually a lot better than this).
Nothing in that article would make any difference whatsoever. Meta would still track you, unabated, even with those changes.
I agree it is, but I removed the comment due to ableism.
Wtf? What are you taking about ableism??
I don't even know what you mean
Using xtard as an insult is against the rules, I probably should have specified in my original comment.
