    As if they’d impose maximum penalties, no matter how deserved. But hey, fingers crossed!

    And imho the whole issue can be avoided by using mobile websites and/or alternative app front-ends for meta services, if you can’t steer clear of them altogether.

    And blocking apps from using background data should seal the deal.

      I have webrtc completely disabled in browsers.

      I tell everyone, and I abide by : never use an app if you can use the website. If they only have an app be prepared to be fucked.

      I also use a VPN / firewall / DNS filter (by domain and by IP). Rethink or invizible provide all 3 in 1 on android. On linux rotating VPNs, rotating local DNS resolvers [dnscrypt-proxy with local doh with blacklists], and strict firewall rules.

      *Facebook* , *meta*, *Instagram* etc are blocked in and out. As are Google “safety” domains, and a lot of their APIs.

      Privacy may be inconvenient, but selling (giving away for likes) your soul to the devil could cost you a lot more.
