Be careful. You and I aren't consumers of Meta. We're part of the product. You're arguing that advertisers should get a better deal since they are the consumers in this case. Personally I don't like advertisers and seeing them get lower prices, more space etc does nothing for the average citizen imho...
- selfhoster11 5y agoNobody except Meta and the advertisers looks at this situation like that. It's quite obvious what parent meant.
- LatteLazy 5y agoI'm just pointing out that breaking up Facebook means a better deal for advertisers not users. They are the ones facing a monopoly. I'm happy for you or op to decide who is the "consumer" etc.
