  • I mean, I'm not the person you asked for tips, but I wanted to drop my two cents.

    If he has many health issues, asking him to switch software at his age will be challenging, and requires a lot of patience. You could start wanting to show him with excitement, like, showing how cool it can be to try out something new. He might get easily overwhelmed if things work differently than what he's used to, so try to guide him in that.

    but yeah, be very patient with him. I'm sure he's got a lot on his plate already.

    Just keep making sure he's getting the medical treatment he needs.

    I wish your family the best!

    • Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data

    Jump

  • yeah that seems to be the only way, unfortunately. i do wonder for how long that will work, considering Meta wants to tie in Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp even more. idk, I'm not really tech savvy haha

  • i really wanted to do the same but without blocking whatsapp 🥲 unfortunately I have to use whatsapp ... is there any list out there that blocks just Meta's tracking without necessarily blocking something like whatsapp ?

    • The "Nothing to hide" argument is a logical fallacy

    Jump

  • yep. I use that argument sometimes , but it really depends on the person whether the "then give me your email/chat history/etc." argumeng will work.

    and just like you said, people don't you reading it. They wouldn't want to see you looking through their phone. But in the context of technology, it's very abstract. Like, when Instagram's chats weren't encrypted, telling someone "Instagram can read them" may sound vague. They don't imagine how like, Meta employees maybe could have access to it, or the softwares behind it that could analyze their chats. that could all be happening, but "out of sight, out of mind!" really helps people tolerate those possibilities. Thhe frontend, the chat interface, looks OK, so yeah.

    I don't think I could explain it very well, so my bad (not a native speaker), but yeah, I feel like because we are not encoruaged to think about how the software works behind the curtains, it's easy to assume that "well, I'm not a target, so why should I worry about doing this [privacy thing]?"
