Elon Musk advises people to ditch Facebook and use Signal (How To Dump Toxic Social Media pt1)

Tech CEO Elon Musk has urged his almost 42 million Twitter followers to use secure messaging app Signal instead of Facebook products. In a series of tweets, Musk shared a meme referencing Facebook’s role in the spread of misinformation leading to the attack on Congress this week and suggested people should use the Signal app.

The tweets seem to have been prompted by a recent change to Facebook’s privacy policy. As reported by The Hacker News, the new updates allow more sharing of data between Facebook and its partner company WhatsApp, including the sharing of phone numbers, interactions on the platform, information about mobile devices used to access the service, and IP addresses. If WhatsApp users do not agree to the data sharing, their accounts are disabled.

I think he understands that free speech and free market power America’s growth and innovation, and that socialism, communism and oligarchy kill it.

Your image didn’t show up. I have the same problem. If you figure out why let us all know what your solution is. Standard <img HTML no longer works on my iPad.

Hmmmm. Thanks for the input. I like to post images and all the sudden I can’t. Really odd. Time for some troubleshooting at my end.

I’ve been having that problem for awhile too... about half of the pics don’t show up, and when I open image on new tab, it just gives me the generic address (like startpage.com or imgbb.com).
