Not that I think in a million years that any kind of user strike activity would get FB, G or T to change anything significant. Because their entire business model from the ground up is based on selling ads.
Mostly I'm keen to drive people to user-supported social media, like Mastodon, Dreamwidth, Wordpress, even NeoCities.org (which is so cool).
All I am saying here isis, if you want a non-toxic user experience: make sure you're the customer, not the product / worker.
@photopuck Integral to a social media strike must be a comprehensive block of their trackers, through browser extensions, network firewalls, or other means.
Facebook can contractually suspend the accounts of business sites that use their own-managed Facebook links rather than FB's authorized tools. The trackers are the means by which FB monitors your activity when you're away from FB, even if you're logged out, even if you're using a secure browsing session. It's very important to them.
On Firefox, noscript and ghostery are your prickly, high-maintence friends.
@suetanvil @photopuck Depending on web browser content plugins is the devil's bargain. It creates tiered classes of web users: Those who can protect themselves and those who can't; those who understand the mechanisms can evade them, the people who can't often don't even understand how they're being exploited.
I mean, yeah. I use the hell out of content filters. But they're not a solution, they're a hack.
