Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Wish I could. My family uses messenger :(
So does mine, I deleted it anyway. You've got their phone numbers for texting and calling.
Family group chat so it isn't that easy. On the other hand I never open Facebook so 🤷
It still data mines on your phone even when you don't open it
If you have android, the duckduckgo browser app has a beta opt-in app tracking blocker service. I activated it a few days ago and it's been horrifying how many trackers there are. Almost 50,000 since I turned it on maybe 4 days ago.
I don't disagree. And I totally understand and support people who choose to leave the platform altogether. I will more than likely leave at a certain point, the same way I left reddit.
I was only trying to open up discussion on the topic. I think that for most of us (younger generation) understand a the privacy issues with platforms like Facebook, Google, Tiktok. But I do also believe that for most it's extremely impractical to abandon that platform. Not everyone can be a pioneer.
That's the fun part, you don't have to be a pioneer. There are plenty of well tested and recommended apps that offer E2EE and aren't under the control of Meta. Post in your family chat telling why the current app is no longer acceptable for use and drop a link to your preferred secure app.
Lol i told my family and friends if they want to talk to me they have to install signal. Those that want to talk to me did and those that don't didn't. Problem solved.
Mine use Messenger too. Deleted it myself, we need to show good example and move society around us forward.
Were you unable to communicate with them before messenger? :( must have been hard times.
