Recently, Meta – the company behind Facebook and Instagram – was notified that they resume the controversial program that trains artificial intelligence on everything you have shared publicly on their platforms. When they tried this a year ago, it met massive protests – for good reason. That meta should do everything you have shared because you do not protest well enough, and are still totally unacceptable. But if we really want to protest, it is not just to use their forms and resist with the limited funds they choose whether they want to give us or not. It’s time we delete Facebook. For good. To protest is not enough. Many people understandably choose to report protests with Meta’s form and say satisfied afterwards. I could also think that, but I know inside that it doesn’t solve the problem – it just exposes it. Meta has repeatedly shown us that they do not want us to “get away”, like when they made this unnecessarily bunched protest form. Getting you to go to a whole new website is a strategy to make it harder and more troublesome to protest. Especially if you are not particularly technically proposed. It is also not without reason that the form only concerns what you have shared yourself on your wall, and not what you are tagged into or what other parts of you. They also do not say what happens if your friend – who did not realize that you have to protest your post on their own profile. Meta could easily have released all this board via a consent -based model, where you have to go in and say yes instead of submitting a protest. Rather, they choose this method, since they know they win as long as we don’t delete our accounts. We can play cat-and-mice by saying “the exception must apply to this too” until the thumbs fall off, but it is a game that never ends-not as long as it takes place on the cat’s premises. Meta also continues with the “pay or be monitored” model for data collection, which many believe can be unlawful. When the Data Inspectorate wanted to finish the offense, they were stopped. The message was that since meta is an “international business”, we just have to find ourselves in it. This data collection model does not exactly strengthen the credibility of an already questionable protest form. Is Facebook really so essential? Many of us feel dependent on Facebook to do what we need in everyday life. When Ki expert Inga Str\u00fcmke deleted Facebook, she said she “knows many who have said that they no longer want Facebook, but who feel that in practice they do not have a choice”. She was also worried about what to do if Facebook becomes socially critical infrastructure. I had the same concern before uninstalling the Facebook app a few months ago. Still, today I notice little other than more peace. The news is still in the newspaper, the messages from teams and associations I get by e-mail, and people turn out to be very understanding for this choice. When I was organizing Soddjazz last week, I was not included in the Facebook group for the festival, but rather got information on messages and face to face. When I said I don’t want to use Facebook, I fear the answer “No, you have to join the group”. The answers I got were closer to “I really wouldn’t either.” But what about Messenger? Of course, it is not easy to delete everything from the blue, and Messenger is perhaps the most difficult. Fortunately, this is not a problem. With a few keystrokes, you can disable the Facebook account, while retaining all your contacts on Messenger with a “Messenger-exempt deactivation”. I have chosen that myself. Others can still add you via Messenger, and alternatively you can also switch to, for example, the advertising -free free app signal, which collects almost zero personal information. It is also possible to call or send a message to the phone number you used to register with. If you are still not sure, you can dip the toe in the water before jumping out. How about putting on a screen time barrier on so and so long before the app turns off for the day, or delete the app on your mobile, so you have to use a PC to log in? This is how you get down the use drastically, without missing anything. If you then, like me, realize that this might be just as good, it’s easy to disappear completely afterwards. It is easy to believe that by remaining and protesting on the platform you “exploit” their own systems against them. Unfortunately, this becomes an easy and individual solution to a collective problem. It feels like we do something about the problem, but in reality we only give more legitimacy to the platforms and strengthen their role as the “home” for the conversations about how terrible they are. We can share posts that say “I do not agree” and write posts that Facebook’s time is about as much as we want, but that’s how we ended up in this pinch in the first place. If we are to get out of it, we will soon be bite into the sour apple and delete our accounts. For good. Send us your utterance desire to write? Feel free to contact us in news Ytring with your post.
