    Don’t need a whistle blower to tell me what way the wind blows. Are they a capitalist? Yes? Then they don’t care about anything other than money and power; and children are neither.

    And yet, people still use FB, IG and What’Sap. I just don’t get it. Of course that’s why I’m here, and not there. smh

      FB and IG, sure. WhatsApp is not that easy.

      In Europe is almost like saying that you don’t have a phone number. 🙄

        Have you heard of Signal? This is the same argument. Meta has made people think that it is indispensable. They are not, as soon as we all realize they are not indispensable.

            Have you come across this substack: https://substack.com/home/post/p-212401946 It’s a blog post titled The Banality of Facebook’ Evil. subtitled: Popular conceptions of ‘evil’ fall down when confronting systemic moral failure

            "Mark Zuckerberg is an especially egregious example of a tech lord who has created untold misery around the world. And I’m not just talking about creating products specifically designed to addict children so they will compulsively use his social media products. Although that’s pretty bad in itself.

            To really understand the depth of Meta’s depravity it helped me to read a ‘tell-all’ book by someone who once worked at the highest level of the company. I’m referring to Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book Careless People. "
