    You are still contributing to the same situation. It harvests data, keeping you in the system and tracking your habits and connections. From recent reports meta is also reading everything you say. Who you connect to. Where you are.

    You could use any other app you want to and not need this one.

    You are actively participating in paying for metas activities, maybe that is worth thinking about.

      As you are as well by being on Lemmy. Just stop with the fear mongering. You claim ads. I don’t see ads. The goal posts keep moving.

        I didn’t claim ads, someone else did.

        Also Lemmy isn’t a company, it’s just a group of enthusiats linking their servers together.

        I am not fear mongering. These are facts, you are contributing to a billionaire that has no good plans for you. You are participating in that. Your data, location, and conversations are tracked. Those are facts.

          I honestly don’t see how I’m contributing to anything when I’m running Whatsapp with tracking turned off. Those are facts.
