And after switching to iOS if necessary, download a device-level tracker blocker VPN like jumbo or disconnect.me torqued to the strictest settings to kill your shadow profile across all your apps and devices. It’s a lot of work to really delete Facebook from your life.
Residents of locales that grant #datarights to access your data under legal protections such as EU member states under #GDPR or other nations and US states such as California and Virginia granting their residents data rights in the wake of Cambridge Analytica, exercise ur rights!
Without legal pressure from #datarights exercisers who complain to the appropriate regulators when data downloads are not sufficiently adequate, we aren’t going to move the needle on algorithmic justice, let alone Mark Zuckerberg’s imperial power.
It’s not just about picking the best set of tech reform bills in Congress competing for our attention. It’s also about how people would then exercise any new #datarights in real life to develop a muscularity because, otherwise our data is abused, at scale, by default, to the max.

Despite virtually unlimited resources, the company finds itself unable to solve fundamental patterns of malfunction and social harm with seemingly obvious solutions: ban the bad actors and take the political fallout on the chin. #FacebookFiles

WSJ: Facebook Employees Flag Drug Cartels and Human Traffickers. The Company’s Response Is Weak, Documents Show.
This chart from the article visualizes the new digital colonialism epitomized by the ‘blue app’ as use steadily declines in US/EU. wsj.com/articles/faceb…
A few excerpts from the article that do not require a trigger warning are offered below for a glimpse into the internal reporting on extreme human depravity and systemic violent oppression by bad actors using Facebook as it was designed. wsj.com/articles/faceb…
What if Facebook should not exist? What if Facebook is actually a terrible idea? What if extracting data and attention out of nations at any cost is causing a net harm to humanity despite executives paid generously to insist otherwise? What if Mark Zuckerberg is a failed emperor?
Let’s talk about all the regulation in the automobile industry and traffic laws and taxpayer funded public infrastructure and on and on this metaphor is not as smart as they think it is!
There are literally rules about the placement of headlights and taillights and the colors they are allowed to be. Does IG want the government dictating the app UI/UX because it certainly sound like that to me if we are to take this metaphor seriously (which we really should not)?
In the galaxy brain of Menlo Park, FB/IG/WA is an automobile that you don’t need a license to operate, don’t need insurance for, don’t need to keep inspected, and if it crashes causing death, injury or destruction of property this is kept secret unless leaked to a journalist.
