Wow. Much privacy. So fast. It took them only 15 years and they just came up with that by themself without any pressure from outside. No regulation needed! You guys, I think we all have to give FB an apology! Maybe FB really does cary for our privacy and is not as bad as we think it is!
…
Fuck FB, Fuck Zuckerberg, Fuck Meta!
- Fuck all these organizations who exist to exploit our data like a resource, and turn us into a profit.
  I'm still on Discord, but everything else I use is FOSS where I can help it. I do not want to make a single 'nother tech billionaire to come into existence through my participation, and I'm pretty determined to abandon anything that threatens to thwart my ambition.
  I'm so tired of being made a product, a client, or a customer.

I just requested the deletion of my account yesterday:) Calm down privacy devotees I did it only because I have no use for Facebook anymore
