Meta thinks your #privacy is for sale.

Would you pay 160 euros per year to Facebook & Instagram for respecting your right to privacy?

"hey look everybody! The fediverse thinks you're a human being with right to privacy! Let's all go there!"
[People flock to the fediverse, crippling FB and Instagram]
And we all lived happily ever after.

especially because you're only worth about $12/yr to them!

lol ain't no way. On top of that, even if you pay up, they'll still probably violate your privacy regardless. Just another revenue stream to leech money off the naïve.

The 160 euros is not to "protect your privacy", it's to remove ads. Meta continues collecting your information, to my knowledge.

Even if they said they wouldn't track you, I wouldn't believe them. Much like I don't trust Google's ad settings.

I'd have to be unbelievably stupid to believe, they'd keel their end of the bargain

First of all no, because I do not trust them.
But second of all, we all say if you do not pay for a product, you are a product. And when they want money to not make people a product we say that we pay for right to privacy. I find this very inconsistent, because in that sense, every paid app is paying for privacy. Without paying they have to get money somewhere right?
But again I must stretch that I would NOT EVER trust facebook, which, for that exact reason, I do not and will not use.

@Tay0 The internet deserves privacy by default!

I think I have put a lot of social media in the box marked infrequent use.
