Personally, I prefer just blocking all Facebook assets on DNS level. Don't forget, they go to war against Apple because Apple wants to force user consent on their tracking activities. They should be ousted from everyone's network.

FB Marketplace is legitimately more useful than any other classifieds system available or in the US. Otherwise I would do the same.

That's a short term solution with DoH becoming more widespread... I'm curious how we're going to block DoH in the future since it can be packed into any iot device
Not everyone has the luxury of going nuclear with it. Containment works for people whose governments are too cheap for a blog.
Exactly.
My son's school has been using Facebook for most communications. I discussed it with their IT person - they said it was mostly a trade-off between security, privacy, usability, and cost. Most parents didn't care much about privacy, so Facebook won.
It's frustrating for those of us that do care about privacy, but I can see why it's such a difficult decision.
