Well that is their business model. They monetise every bit of data they harvest. I really don't understand why people are surprised by this.

If only more people would move off Instagram and onto other platforms like Vero then I could be free of Facebook.

Someone has to make the first move.....

I quit FB a long time ago. Turns out the people who called me up were the people I want in my life.

Faceblock is for oldies anyway, use Tik Tok!

Facebook ‘still making money from anti-vax sites’ | Facebook | The Guardian

Facebook is allowing users to profit from the spread of potentially dangerous false theories and misinformation about the pandemic and vaccines, including deploying money-raising tools on pages with content flagged up by the social media giant’s own factcheckers.

An investigation has found 430 pages – followed by 45 million people – using Facebook’s tools, including virtual “shops” and fan subscriptions, while spreading false information about Covid-19 or vaccinations.

The findings come despite a promise the platform made last year that no user or company should directly profit from false information about immunisation against Covid-19.
