      Don’t care. Using meta is directly supporting and funding environmental degradation, AI data centers, misinformation, and yes facism.

      Can you see why I am tired of being delicate and senstive about it?

          No, those are simply facts. So you support that then?

          Edit: this is why

          All these free services somehow add up to 60 billion in profit every year. And they are expanding, they plan to spend 125-135 billion in AI data centers. They are going to build data centers that will use hundreds of gigawatts in over 10 locations. The power used by each is in the scale of the same as powering all of San Francisco with some of these as 2 to 6 times as much as San Fransisco to put it into perspective.

          They are going to use about 1,000 to 2000 acres each, use 1 to 3 million gallons of water a day (one site is asking for a permit to use 23 million gallons a day).

          All because of people are using “free” apps.
