It is so disheartening and frustrating, as well as disgusting and unconscionable that this is allowed to happen. The catch is that getting entirely off social media platforms like Facebook, instagram, etc. really cuts legitimate interaction. What can be done other than a massive strike (I.e. non-use) of Meta platforms?
I held onto my Meta accounts for a long time because I didn't want to lose the connections there, but this behavior pattern on Meta's part (and your coverage of it, Chris) forced me to realize that no amount of connection is worth participating in a business built on evil. Maybe someday there will be a better alternative, but waiting for one is not an option. Leaving is the only solution.
