Meta thinks your #privacy is for sale.
Would you pay 160 euros per year to Facebook & Instagram for respecting your right to privacy?

@Tutanota Principally because I wouldn't trust them.
@Tutanota
Just deactivated my Facebook-Account at end of november...
@Tutanota - I'm leaving facebook on new years eve. My friends and family have been informed where they can find me here on the Fediverse.
Not even paying Meta ensures privacy. They are charging for a service they simply won't supply.
@cart1082 Congrats!
@Tutanota "hey look everybody! The fediverse thinks you're a human being with right to privacy! Let's all go there!"
[People flock to the fediverse, crippling FB and Instagram]
And we all lived happily ever after.
@Tutanota Don't have meta products, it's free.
@Tutanota especially because you're only worth about $12/yr to them!
@Tutanota lol ain't no way. On top of that, even if you pay up, they'll still probably violate your privacy regardless. Just another revenue stream to leech money off the naïve.
@Tutanota I'd have to be unbelievably stupid to believe, they'd keel their end of the bargain
@Tutanota First of all no, because I do not trust them.
But second of all, we all say if you do not pay for a product, you are a product. And when they want money to not make people a product we say that we pay for right to privacy. I find this very inconsistent, because in that sense, every paid app is paying for privacy. Without paying they have to get money somewhere right?
But again I must stretch that I would NOT EVER trust facebook, which, for that exact reason, I do not and will not use.
@Tutanota
I think I have put a lot of social media in the box marked infrequent use.
