- why would anyone trust Meta/FB on anything they say or trust them with your data

Because people don't care about what is done with their data, because it doesn't affect them. This is why FB is still the most used social media site in the world despite all the negativity. People just want a good product and that's what FB gives. That why Instagram and WhatsApp are also extremely popular despite being owned by FB. People just don't give a fuck. Google is still by far the most popular search engine despite many people trying to create search engine that don't track you. All of them failed to take any market share from Google because Google gives people a good product compared to the rest and that's all what people care about.

People just want a good product, they don't care how you do it.



People don’t care because they don’t understand all the implications of them being tracked. And that’s why I think it’s important that Apple is looking out for the average joe making sure their privacy is protected. Regulation is catching up, slowly but it’s finally taking a stand against companies tracking users and selling their data.

In 10 years from now people will be more privacy aware. See how much impact has had the “ask app not to track”. Things will only get worse for companies like FB.

Unless they find a better way to monetize their users, things will only get worse for companies like FB/Meta.

No metaverse will save them.
