I remember what made me quit facebook, way before it became Meta: the TV serie Person of interest. It gave me a big awarness of the scale of mass surveillance. I already had the project to quit because of Zuck’s shenanigans and the lack of interest i had in the platform, but this was the last straw for me.
I stayed away from FB for a long time, and my cousin finally convinced me to join to keep up with our big family. I left in 2016 because I kept getting in fights on there.
