It's very much a bandwagon mentality. "We" is you.
EU should just blok meta(fb/inst)/x|twatter/tiktok and rest of usanian BigTech at this point…
I've been researching local newspapers, and the problems they face, lately, and one of them is that none of the social media sites allow them to get any visits from their followers because they either significantly de-rank posts with links off-site or it costs money to reach followers with links, or both. Of course Google scraping their sites and summarizing is another symptom of the same problem; FAANG wants all the revenue and a monopoly on what you see. Every penny every eyeball. None for small businesses, none for independent media, none for individuals.
The way I saw it put recently: the internet used to be a library and now it's a store.
If your facebook page were your hosted website, everything's fine and dandy. Cost is still zero!
This move punishes people who do have their own website that they are paying for, and also have a facebook page that links to the main site.
