        People should use Signal instead. I don’t care if anybody doesn’t like it, it’s what I use and if you want to talk to me you’ll fuckin’ use it.

        Never installing any Facebook garbage apps.

          I’ve tried that for a few years now. Sadly you’ll lose a ton of contacts.

            You would only lose contact with the people who didn’t care enough to keep in touch. That’s a win-win situation.

              It’s not just people who know, knew but also new connections that could’ve gone somewhere given enough time and energy.

              Being the first to fight for privacy in my circles has amputated so many of my possibilities.

              Legislation needs to pas so I don’t have to tell everyone that I don’t want my damn picture on the internet every time someone pulls a phone out.

    Would an android user not be able to restrict the vast majority of these pulls?

      Yes, I have achieved this by not installing any meta apps.
