Four years ago, human rights campaigner Tanya O’Carroll took on social media giant Meta when they refused to stop collecting and processing her personal data for targeted advertising.

In March 2025, Meta settled and agreed to honour O’Carroll’s right to object.

Now it's your turn to opt-out.

Open letter to anyone with a protest or rights-based website:

PLEASE get rid of Facebook and Google SSO login options and analytic tracking codes from your sites.

You are literally handing over your user data to unscrupulous players that are in direct opposition to your cause. These sites can and do hand over user-specific data.

To everyone, stop using these options. Set a strong password. Use an alias email. Use a VPN.

Today, after several years since I deactivated my Facebook account, I've removed my account and all the data from Facebook. #privacy #meta #motivosparaserfeliz

I have been trying to make the point that when we give up our privacy, we give up our security for a long time. This is an article and short video from 2017. I could have made the same statements today.

I think many more are seeing the same. I know most of you here do.

"He hopes his experience can help others where they’re unexpectedly denied entry at an expensive event based on data about them that has been collected by the company.

“It’s something that we all have to be aware of. We’re [being] surveilled at all times, and it’s always framed as a safety thing, when rarely is that the case.
It’s more of a deterrent and a fear tactic to try to keep people in line.”

After the article from The Atlantic, I've seen a lot of misinformation circulating among journalists. I'm not getting into the political side of things, but many are focusing on the fact that Signal was used, claiming it's "not encrypted" or "not secure." This really saddens me because it spreads the wrong message.
