I admit that “Guilty until proven innocent” doesn’t typically sit well with me. However, this is Facebook. We have 20 years of history to judge. At this point, only a willfully naive fool would trust them not to destroy anything they can’t take control of and profit from.
Also, is the huge influx of content really added value? I don’t use facebook and its offshoots because the content is irrelevant or ragebait. I certainly don’t miss it over here, and while users can individually block Facebook from their feed, as far as I know this doesn’t protect the user’s data from being federated to facebook unless their instance defederates them completely.
… this doesn’t protect the user’s data from being federated to facebook….
That’s my concern. I haven’t been on Facebook in years, and I don’t want to share anything with them now. I’ll likely be deleting a couple of accounts that are exposed to them.
