So, you are going straight to insults? Really?
It’s relevant for the same reason there is a “We heart the Free Ice Cream” thread here at BoingBoing. BoingBoing uses an array trackers, including Facebook, for metrics, advertising and affiliate links.
Giving up some privacy has become the currency by which “free” web services can survive. It is a trade off, and it is fair for some to say that privacy is too valuable to give up in exchange for these services, but it is also understandable for the services to say “that’s how we get paid, so take it or leave it”, though I want privacy regulated to curb the largest abuses. I’m not seeing sending info to FB as necessarily abusive, depending on what info is sent.
Anyway, if you are using Zoom on a mac you can use Little Snitch to prevent your mac from connecting to FB servers. I’m sure there are a number of ways to do that on PCs as well.
