I get that. I’m all for viewing then with suspicion. Rightly and justifiably so. I don’t have Facebook or Instagram except for contained osint work. I value privacy and understand it’s importance.

But I’m personally not in favour of wildly quarantining every instance that doesn’t fully block them before I have had more time to understand the risks and options here. And I think a lot of people here don’t do. Not really. In that regard its just classic social media with people stoking each others fears and feasting on it.

And I guess a lot of people are here, fresh from reddits corporate ego trip only to immediately feel the worry of their next digital home inevitably meeting the same fate. I think that fresh trauma is directing a lot of the current discourse here. And I think it would be wise to revisit the subject again when we’ve settled and understand our new surroundings more.

tl;dr: don’t trust facebook, but also don’t burn half the street down because they bought a mansion down the lane.
