Until Meta stops trying to force me to open an account to view things that should be publicly available i'll never be on board with them gaining more power. Not to mention that I believe their products are a net negative to society.
If so, is Google's Play Store allowing users with no Google account to download the apks ? Or the Google Nest Hub if we want to stay on hardware platforms.
The current ad infested and SEO bound internet comes straight from Google's influence. Same way current android repeated most of Apple's dark patterns, with all the blackmailing phone makers on the side.
TBH comparing Google and Meta feels like closing both eyes and choosing if the right side is darker than the left (I'm not saying we should forgive any, I just don't see one having a moral high ground at this point)
But regardless, i stated my position, not other people's position.
