This makes no sense. There might be various reasons a person might want/need to be on facebook. Does that mean they waive all right to privacy in every aspect of their life forever?

FB t&c basically say that, yes... But saying another free service is stealing their data on facebook when meta has already done that is the irony

no, it doesn't. but when you support the platform that's actively eroding privacy worldwide you lose the ability to complain.

you can't change a company by giving them exactly what they want.

that's like complaining to an attacker as they murder you but not fight back.

there are zero reasons to continue supporting big tech, they are clearly attempting to circumvent democracy worldwide.

You're right it makes no sense in the age of the hypocrite. It feels very unfair to judge people by the choices they make.
