   Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/mad-meta-dont-let-them-collect-and-monetize-your-personal-data

     @eff I would have to have a meta/facebook account to do any of what you suggested. How about a complete list of their data collection IP addresses so I can block them at my firewall to prevent embedded javascript from contacting them?

     @eff I use Opera for Android and Linux. The desktop app has Privacy Badger on top of ad and tracker blocking. The mobile app just has the default add and tracker blocking, but still better than Chrome letting Alphabet and Meta track everything.

     @eff so your advice to avoid Meta collecting your data is to... [reads article] ...ask them nicely not to do it?

     That's rather naïve don't you think? Shouldn't we be talking about how to delete your account, file a GDPR request, and switch to better alternatives?

     @eff I am fed up with Meta because they block posts exposing the Israeli massacres in Gaza. They serve Zionism. You can't hide the truth in this day and age. I hate Meta and I hate the murderers. This is the only information you will ever get from me: I hate the disgusting murderers.
