Always funny how nearly universally Meta employees are quiet and never defend their companies practices.. The silence says a lot.

Silence keeps food on the table.

They make something people want. Most people I know thah use it, including me, just don't really see that big a downside to using it. I'm not even slightly considering removing any Meta app, and let's face it, Firefox is over as a project because their priorities are all out of wack. So Chrome and meta apps all the way for me, but I'm sure to listen to the Amazon Washington Post as to how I should treat Amazon competitors in the future.

  This is such a foreign perspective to me that I legitimately cannot even conceptualize it. I've used Facebook products. Even just barring the privacy concerns, there's been one constant - the products are bad. They're not good. They actively make my life worse. They're not fun, they're not enjoyable, they're not performant, they're not... anything. Even if I was a complete 100% sellout and I didn't give a single fuck about privacy, I wouldn't use Facebook products. Because they're just that bad. Also Firefox is "over" as a project? Legitimately, what the fuck are you talking about? Firefox works fine and has been working fine for as long as I've used it. The browser works, and for all intents and purposes, I can't tell the difference from Chrome. Really, I can't. Are there differences? Probably. I've never encountered any, so for my money Firefox is fine.

    Even instagram? I tend to agree with your point but I like insta.

      Yeah actually maybe a year ago I got rid of Insta, too. It was the most tame one but it just got so annoying over the years. Why am I being shown reels over and over again? I just want to see my friend's wedding!

Why would they say anything ? and how are they any different from Google employees, weapon manufacturer employees, 3 letter agency employees, etc? Everything can be justified given enough money. There is no such thing as objective morality.
