It’s now been six weeks since I started writing those Buy European bulletins. And now, with Meta’s frankly infantile reaction to the fine issued by the European Commission over their breaching of the Digital Markets Act, the time has come to tackle their services directly. Today, we’re learning how to leave Meta, how to leave Facebook, how to leave Instagram, and ultimately, how to leave a toxic relationship that, for many, has brought nothing but misery and decay.
It’s FB Messenger for me. If I could move some people over to Signal I’d be golden, but alas. In many ways I’d prefer to just leave all the Messenger group chats behind and move on, but too many people I care about don’t care to get away.
