Zuckerberg et al. would actually prefer that we all think that, so that we just stop there and don't proceed to more-effective politics.

You may have given up. I didn't.

Yeah, I don't understand the downvotes either. Complaining is one thing (and it's certainly valid to complain about Meta), but nothing's going to change if a lot of people still use their service. Sure, one person getting off of the Meta platform isn't going to do anything, but millions could have an effect - if only to give less power to the company.

I deleted my Meta account last year and haven't missed it.

I do -- meta's products are inherently addictive and the network effect is powerful, so people would rather cope and complain than take meaningful but inconvenient action. This is how zuck wins, every time.

Me too and so has most of my family.
