That is actually simple, they are the same but I am not using behavior of other corrupt companies to make Facebook look better. Or try to derail debate to other companies.
Which is imho the correct behavior.
And, if possible (do read further, to see what I consider possible), I don't use their products, not having any Apple product, phone is Lumia with Sailfish OS and carefully blocking all the shit 3rd party products bring in, potentially not even using them (smartwatches aka spyware on your wrist, due to cloud dependence), Windows (i have Linux and FreeBSD everywhere, even kids don't use Windows but they do use Graphene OS on phones, couldn't do anything else there due to peer pressure)
Where this is impossible due to the public drive (try to block Google/Microsoft/Amazon ASNs and you will be effectively alone on the internet, due to cloud - interesting detail, while even Duckduckgo doesn't work, the Yandex does), I do everything to avoid as much of crap as possible, like blocking the trackers, randomizing fingerprinting, youtube ads, not having a google account, using youtube for exactly what I am searching for (a lot of content on internet is no longer written, which I prefer, but rather recorded as a video, so you are literally forced to use youtube), being 100% self hosted (not on cloud, physical server that I have built, with ups in my house) from mail to caldav, using self hosted searx for searching, having redundant zfs storage, doing backups to the tape, have my own VPN randomly deployed to other VPS providers...
Bottom line, doing everything that nobody else "has time to do it" and it is surprisingly simple and non time consuming when you "find time to do it" aka "you know how to do it and you consider it easy".
Or when you are sick enough of companies trying to privatize internet. SAAS? Over my dead body.
Anyway vacuum cleaner is rooted and modified, "Smart TV" is not connected and blocked on router (with default blocking hardware that wasn't added to the pass trough rule manually), became smart under my conditions with raspberry pi. Avoiding buying anything with "smart" label unless i know I will be able to root it or circumvent call home, like air condition.
Interestingly, mail server where everyone is complaining about not self hosting it, is the simplest, nicest piece of software, that I don't even need to look at it for months. It just works and all mails get delivered.
+40 hours / week backend software development for some company and having a family with kids in primary school. Just so you know I am not in pension yet. ;)
