Oh no! 😱 Meta's peeking at your #selfies and cat pics while you're distracted by *incredibly* urgent Labor Day deals for 2025. 📸🛒 Because nothing says "privacy concern" like a good ol' shopping list from the future! 😆

I need to use Instagram and WhatsApp for my daily communications. all of my local friends and family use it, and local organisations typically post on these platforms.

whatever can I do to limit the amount of tracking from Meta on these platforms? googling has proven less than useful with threads just saying "uninstall the app and delete your account" or using their own settings and features

"Researchers recently caught Meta using tactics that one expert called similar to those of digital crooks to secretly compile logs of people’s web browsing on Android devices. No one, including Android owner Google, knew that Meta’s Facebook and Instagram apps were siphoning people’s data through a digital back door for months."

Meta forces users to either pay for privacy or consent to data mining. The European Commission just decided that this "pay or consent" system is illegal, since it's essentially a false choice.

Under EU law, Meta could be subject to fines of 10% of global turnover, or 20% "in case of repeated infringement."
