Folks that boast they've stopped posting on Twitter or Facebook without actually deleting their account remind me of those that advocate for embryos.
They both get to feel the sanctimonious high of self-righteousness without taking any real principled action.
Some accountability, at the very least. But fines and monetary damages are just a cost corporations and the wealthy pay to commit crimes.
"I have often heard people describe Friendica as the Fediverse’s answer to Facebook. That is probably the reason why I was in no rush to try it out ... when I hear the word “Facebook” my first thoughts are: Cambridge Analytica, election misinformation, AI spam and violence against the Rohingya in Myanmar. Do I need an alternative to Facebook in the Fediverse? Not really."

@nik @torproject @mullvadnet I find that too bad, but back then it made sense since usernames rarely were long enough and in the academic-scientific envoirment of #Unix (and most of the #Internet) #Anonymity and #Privacy weren't priorities at all back then.
"#AgeVerification" is #Cyberfascist| Bullshit and it's being pushed by #NSAbook / #StasiBook / #Facebook / #Meta as means to kill competition like the #Fediverse!

NPR: New Mexico jury says Meta harms children’s mental health and safety, violating state law. “A New Mexico jury decided Tuesday that Meta knowingly harmed children’s mental health and concealed what it knew about child sexual exploitation on its social media platforms, a verdict that signals a changing tide against tech companies and the government’s willingness to crack down.”
