The implication from the person I responded to was that telling people to delete tracking apps was a distraction or deception. That somehow it was Facebook trying to get people to funnel data through them.
But that's not what it was. The same people who were trying to get people to delete tracking apps would have also said "Don't talk about this through Meta apps" also.
It's a bit outside of what Facebook did, whether they should have complied or risked consequences, etc.
As an aside, Signal people. If you want to chat discreetly, Signal.
- pyuser583 4y agoOn my own Twitter feed, there were plenty of pro-choice activists who seemed unaware message apps are the primary threat. The idea that Twitter is a threat doesn’t go down well with the Twitter crowd. Same is true for FB, etc. I personally had to explain to a number of people, face to face, that whatever threat is posed by menstrual tracking apps is nothing compared to FB, Twitter, and Google. People seemed especially suprised that Twitter was a problem.
