Facebook, Instagram, how to delete threads

Google searches for how to delete Facebook, Instagram, and threads are on the rise following Meta's decision to eliminate its third-party fact-checking system and relax its content moderation policies.

Those angry about the decision say Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is coddling the incoming Trump administration at the expense of making the company's social media platforms a breeding ground for misinformation and polarizing speech. I'm accusing them of being there. Mr. Zuckerberg's statement that the company's third-party fact checkers were “too politically biased” for his vision of “free expression” probably didn't help matters.

So if you, like countless others, have ever fallen in love with Meta's algorithms; [insert cultural or political issue here] If you're tired of companies slurping up your data to train AI or target ads, keep reading.

How to download Facebook archives
