Hello, i am a Nigerian prince and i have a vast sum of money that i need to move, but i need your banking info to complete the transaction. For your help, you will receive 10,000 monies. Please hurry before this great opportunity is passed.
I mean, yes, I agree - don’t use them - but this is less an issue of stopping using Meta and more about worrying about who around you is. With this tech, you don’t need to be a Meta user, you’ll still be captured, stored, tracked and sold.
This is actually a terrible idea - which I unfortunately used to ascribe to. Turns out that now all communications regarding the town I live in only happens through Facebook and WhatsApp - so when we get extended water and electricity cuts, guess who gets to be left out of the loop?
All the “clever” people who deleted Facebook and WhatsApp - that’s who.
Yeah… I’m sure they’ll stop dismantling what’s left of our public infrastructure because I told them to. It’s not like austerity is government policy over here or anything.
When people tell you who they are, believe them! Delete Facebook/Instagram.

There are apps to inform you of people around you wearing these creepy things. One is called “Nearby Glasses”

Sounds like you need to talk to your city

Guess I don’t need to know then.
I’ve never even been to the Facebook website. It’s been blocked on all my systems for a decade.
