Here's a tip that costs less than $10/month - if you want privacy, just don't go on Facebook!
Agreed, but how long have people been saying if you're not paying, that you're the product and they'd rather pay for privacy? Well, here they go!
Anybody with a brain wouldn't actually trust Meta, but the idea is right at least.
But people pay thousands for cars and still end up the product. I don't think paying guarantees privacy anymore and if anything is an outdated concept that gives people a false sense of security if they still buy into it. Data collection is the rage now.
