I agree with the gist of your reply, but I object to this part:
> It's somewhat socially acceptable to not have a Facebook account. Its less acceptable to not have an Instagram and I don't think you can function in west-european society without WhatsApp at the moment; basically everyone expects you to have it.
I can assure you that it is perfectly viable to live a normal life in a west-european society without using any Meta product. It gets a bit more difficult if you have kids at school, though, with teachers and parents not being flexible.
- xescure 3y agoCan you explain to a university student in Western Europe how to exist without WhatsApp and Instagram? For example, parties are organized in Whatsapp group chats and the local library’s events are posted to Instagram.
- generic92034 3y agoIf you mean anything to your friends they will use one of the multiple other ways to notify you. A library that is exclusively using a social media platform for announcements is doing it wrong and complaining or even suing might help.
