Why? There is a long history of legal battles, academic studies, reports, news articles, and everything else detailing how Facebook, Instagram, and Meta are simply rotten all the way through. It's a concerted effort by them going back years. Anyone signing up for a new service by them either isn't paying attention, or is ok with self harm.
