As happy as I am to see more people #deletefacebook, as glad as I am to see younger people moving away from FB, and as much as I hope that more people adopt federalised and decentralised social media alternatives like Mastadon, market-based solutions alone won’t do the job.
If we want to stop the intrustive and exploitative practises of Facebook (and its subsidiaries like Instagram) we have to push for government regulation, be it anti-trust action or privacy legislation.
