    Well, you have to be a little more precise and explain why not. Unfortunately, simply shouting and not doing this or that is not enough to make an argument.I’m on your side, but there should still be a factual discussion. Otherwise, only harder fronts will emerge.

        Yes, of course, but why? There is no reason why i shouldn’t use it. Here are a few examples:

        • Data usage for AI: Meta extensively uses user data for its AI training, which raises significant data privacy concerns.
        • Mental health: Using Meta products can negatively impact mental health, especially for young people.
        • Monopoly position: Meta is accused of abusing its market power as a monopolist and hindering competition.
        • Misinformation: Meta’s platforms often contribute to the insufficiently controlled spread of misinformation.
        • Ethical concerns: Meta’s business model, based on massive data collection, is ethically questionable and has problematic societal impacts.

          You say “why shouldn’t I use it” then give examples of why. Either you agree with not using it and your wording is just bad OR you’re an idiot.
