I mostly avoid major world news now for the most part. I prefer to read hobby-specific news and local news, such as my municipality.
Forgive me for the pessimism, but I sincerely doubt that they honour any opt-outs. Meta has shown time and time again that they’d rather just pay fines as business expenses instead of abiding by law(s).
