      Yes, of course, but why? There is no reason why i shouldn’t use it. Here are a few examples:

      • Data usage for AI: Meta extensively uses user data for its AI training, which raises significant data privacy concerns.
      • Mental health: Using Meta products can negatively impact mental health, especially for young people.
      • Monopoly position: Meta is accused of abusing its market power as a monopolist and hindering competition.
      • Misinformation: Meta’s platforms often contribute to the insufficiently controlled spread of misinformation.
      • Ethical concerns: Meta’s business model, based on massive data collection, is ethically questionable and has problematic societal impacts.

        You say “why shouldn’t I use it” then give examples of why. Either you agree with not using it and your wording is just bad OR you’re an idiot.
