That is a valid point. Google actually provides plenty of utility while also spying on everyone. However, Meta provides a little bit of something to some individuals, but mostly just a whole bunch of nothing to most people, while still spying on everyone.

One of the most annoying thing are the restaurants that can’t be bothered to make a real website. Instead, they just think that making a FB page is good enough. I’ve even seen some pages that ask me to log in to check the opening hours of that restaurant. Well, what if i don’t even have a FB account? I guess, I’ll just walk to that other restaurant that actually has a proper website.
