so you are saying that to keep an identity protected it should be given to facebook?

I'm giving no identity to Meta. I'm giving them an empty profile. There is no data in that.

do you know how facebook makes money?

With ads that I'm not watching and tailored from data that I'm not giving them?

(please, troll more, these are great comments for debate)

I'm not trolling you. I think you're misunderstanding me. And also reading what I write in bad faith.

I apologise that my writing may be particularly direct on this topic

I can assure you that facebook does not have your interests at heart

I am deadly serious that facebook is a weapon

and maybe somebody else can explain all the ways they track and influence you, even when you think they're not.

For starters, you are giving them your picture (so that Clearview can grab it and use it for facial recognition, to recognize you as you go to places) and your name, as well as some of your social graph.

Above all, you are giving them your attention and your time.

I deleted my FB account 3 years ago, and so far nothing bad has happened to me.

It's funny that I was among the first people to create an FB account when they opened it to the general public, and some people would judge that I would use it. And now people are going to judge that I don't use it? Whatever. If anything, that makes us pioneers and trend-setters, not "suspicious".
