You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

@Em0nM4stodon Yes, boycott any corporation or platform that violates any of your rights. The power of American consumer is vast, but not used enough currently.

I left FB 15yrs ago. Never regretted it. I don't use LinkedIn or Insta or TikTok.

95% of my friends message through Signal rather than Meta ie Messenger (FB) or WApp

One of my dearest friends refuses to get a Signal account and leave Meta/WApp bc she says "it's another app to download and they're all the same". Im in Aus. She's in UK. I don't want to lose touch but I want to close WApp.

Give me sthg WATERTIGHT to convince her Meta/WApp is fucked.

@Godfrey642 @yuhasz01 @Em0nM4stodon Highly unethical and against the spirit of your ask, but you can report her account until it gets banned so she doesn’t have a choice.

@dvandal @Godfrey642 @yuhasz01 @Em0nM4stodon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ fine line between horrid and ‘but it works’.
