#DeleteFacebook
With the recent scandals (1 and 2), Facebook have once again proven they can’t be trusted. Many people including Elon Musk and Brian Acton are promoting a #DeleteFacebook campaign that we should relay. As a privacy-minded community, we shouldn’t encourage people to keep using Facebook. Therefore I invite GNOME to:
-
relay the #DeleteFacebook campaign -
delete their own presence on Facebook to lead by example
-
