Why YSK: because, one, Facebook/Meta is a huge player in the tech industry and it’s totally unacceptable that they are continuing to be allowed to operate like this, I’m trying to raise awareness because most people have some idea that Facebook is bad, but few know the details on how and why and to what extent they’re so bad. Also, Facebook is releasing a Fediverse compatible platform, so their presence will very much affect the Fediverse, including Lemmy.

And this is only up to 2021.

Edit: After some more looking I found this which goes up to 2023, but doesn’t seem to be as detailed and only focuses on breaches as opposed to deliberate abuses. https://firewalltimes.com/facebook-data-breach-timeline/

    Growth being always a good thing is the ideology of the cancer cell. Also capitalism.

    We don’t need infinite userbase growth. The quality of our communities is much more important imo.
