I've a better option: have absolutely nothing to do with Meta, don't interact with it, block it in your network, avoid it like the plague. Right now I'm so glad I'm in Europe because that shit cannot launch here, that's how bad you should tell people Meta is and make then join you.

There are a lot of Americans I'm sure that would be like "but it's Europe, why should we care what they do?", you should care because they at least try to protect people's privacy, to some extent, it's far from perfect, but on this case it's working fine as this shit cannot operate here... for now.

I haven't had Facebook since like 2008. My family and friends keep asking me to join it, and I tell them I'll never do that. If they want to contact me, they know where to find me elsewhere.
