Meta wants you to keep Facebook Link History on, here’s why you shouldn’t:

“Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords.”

@protonmail I don''t even know why people are still using Facebook, or any META product for that matter.
This is proof positive that a leopard can't change its spots, and people want to allow Threads to federate with Mastodon!

@robchapman @protonmail The worst and possibly least easy reason to get "rid off facebook" is the old "everybody is on Facebook" thing.

A good example is WhatsApp. Years later, I'm still fighting to get my ecosystem to switch to Signal. People don't think it's important and don't see why they should. They just see that "it works, so why change?"

@zorangrbic @protonmail I left Whatsapp after Facebook got its claws in then unveiled the new T&C's which included 'what they would be tracking'. getting some people to switch was easy, but others would use the 'well i have nothing to hide, so what does it matter' argument - and all I can do is shake my head!
