Meta tracks your activity across millions of websites and apps, regardless of whether you use its platforms, and profits from that data through targeted ads. Here’s what you need to know if you want to limit the company’s ability to harvest and profit from your personal data. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/mad-meta-dont-let-them-collect-and-monetize-your-personal-data

  If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect and profit from your personal data, here’s what you need to know.

  I use the Facebook Container (add-on) on Firefox.
  Do you know if this similar, worse or better then Privacy Badger ?
  There's also the ETP (Enhanced Tracking Protection) in Firefox .... any ideas about this one ?
  (It would be easier if there was 'just' one)

  Changing account seeings may potentially not do much.

    Anyone who goes through my post history, knows I work for Meta (Facebook). I am "Consumer Content Administrative Manager". My primary duties include content appeals, account appeals, account reviews, and some peer review. It is no surprise that my job depends on people using Facebook. Today, I am going to suggest, you not do so. I can make that suggestion because we have a user base of billions, and I know most people would keep using Facebook even if the Devil ran the company. People are strange. But if you feel you can truly live without Facebook, do so. Internally, things are changing, and not for the better. You should especially consider leaving Meta if you are a minority, woman, LGBTQ+, trans, or identify as progressive, politically. If facts matter to you, and misinformation is something you do not want to be subject toward, you should especially consider leaving, Facebook. You have no privacy from Meta, while using Meta. None. I do not care if you believe you disabled a "feature" or "opt out" of something. You only seem to have done so. And even if you're going to continue to use Meta, uninstall the app (all of them). We collect data on you, even when you're not using the app. #Meta #Facebook #Instagram #WhatsApp #Threads
