I removed FB after the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke out. I still had WhatsApp messenger for a few years since I have a very active high school friends group on it. When WhatsApp started changing their privacy policies I just removed WhatsApp as well. We also have a Signal group. My friends and colleagues know how to reach me for anything important, so I don't think I have missed out on anything.
Google is the next big privacy ignorer that is in my radar. The only Google product I depend on is Chrome and I am considering options to de-google my life.
So, my advice is delete FB and don't look back. You will appreciate the time you get back on your hands.
- AdamJacobMuller 4y agoSwitching from Chrome to Brave was one of the easiest things I've done.
- vivegi 4y agoYes, I read about Brave quite a bit. Somehow, I haven't been brave enough to switch to Brave yet due to lurking suspicion about their browser native crypto integrations. Some prior HN discussions on Brave were not confidence inspiring. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23442027 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23442027 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19129086 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19129086 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32110993 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32110993
