Interesting that they don't mention using things like Firefox's Facebook Container (which essentially puts Facebook trackers in jail) or just outright deleting your Meta accounts. Harder to track what you're not engaged with.

If you're actually mad at Meta, do yourself a favor and delete your account; join the Fediverse instead. Friendica is the analog replacement for Facebook, and Pixelfed is the replacement for Instagram. There, EFF. I improved your article.

And if you know someone that says, "BuT mY fRiEnDs ArE aLL tHeRe!" tell them to stop being a whiny little baby and make new friends.

Reminded me of this... People will support a lot of bad things if the alternative is a minor inconvenience

I like to scare people that they will be "the parents still on facebook" if they won't abandon corporate social media.
