    As a user living in Norway, I can say that nothing has changed yet and Meta still does whatever the fuck they want. I use it Facebook from time to time and Facebook still shows me ads related to what I do in an out of Facebook. Even when I use adblockers in all my devices and alternative search engines like Duckduckgo or Ecosia, they still know what are my new interests in and out of facebook and keep showing me personalized ads. I even disabled within facebook to track me outside of facebook. Nothing works for them.

      Normies/ Regulars feel safe as long as they can’t see who’s spying on them. That’s whats going on here. Majority of Boomers have no idea how internet works, Millennials are still trying to understand but at least are aware of the shit google and Facebook does.

      Being said that, what you can do is use a service like nextdns and setup DNS at router level and add the DNS to your phone. Now Block Facebook and any services that are offered by Google and Facebook.

      Also dont forget to delete your google and Facebook account.

        Sure, cos all the boomers use Tiktok. Thankfully the millennials are aware of Chinese spying on them.

        Stop saying bullshit like this. Every generation thinks they are smarter than the previous one and it’s not true: most individuals are ignorant and a minority are smart in every generation, no matter what or how old, but youth gives an exacerbated sense of self-confidence making them believe they can control and know everything. But they simply lack enough mistakes in life to become humble and careful before talking.

        When you think again about boomers, remember that THEY MADE THE FUCKING INTERNET.
