All that plus the way they deplatform people.

The way they control what you can say, discuss, etc.

Want to talk about alternative therapy for covid, nope they label your post and if they determine egregious enough suspend your account or deplatform you entirely.

Several folks that I follow not have separate social sites entirely. Created their own platforms and charge a nominal amount to access their private feeds.

There is significant migration away from FB happening. FB has even resorted to not allowing one to delete your account. You can deactivate it, but it is never really deleted unless FB deletes you.

Second from an advertiser standpoint if you are running ads on FB, only people on FB see your ad. You used to be able to follow public accounts and not have to join FB. Not so anymore, you have to join if you want to follow a brand or influencer either on FB or Instagram.

They’ve done a lot to feed people the nasty sandwich that is their product.

Last but not least, need help with your account? There is no customer service behind the social wall. It is all bots and algorithms. You have no control over the account you created on their platform.

And let’s not forget the biggest privacy breaches and hacks have occurred on Facebook. With all the data they collect on you both on the platform and off all of that was breached at least twice last year.

Tons of reasons to migrate off the Facebook Metaverse platform and smart business is walking away from it.
