That doesn’t help. Also when’s the last time you moved your life?

[–] mika_mika@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I already said I recently moved. I've moved 3 times in the past 10 years and it's all the same. Maybe people used Snapchat or Instagram more often than Facebook when I was younger but it's all the same privacy invasive shit.

The majority tolerate it, that's why Meta is so successful as a company.

Hope this helps.
