'The off-Facebook activity setting isn't currently available to you right now.'

Smart, announcing it without it being usable, so when it's silently rolled out later people will have forgotten about it. Never change, FB.

[moneil971]

It’s rolled out in Ireland, South Korea and Spain to start, more countries are coming soon.

Sorry, but my point stands. In Facebook's case, there is absolutely zero reason to assume good intentions, give the benefit of the doubt, have general good-will, or believe its employees regarding privacy aims.

[la_barba]

Which social media company would you believe regarding privacy?

[nafey]

Nothing such as absolute trust. It has to be a relative comparison. For me it is Apple, Google, Facebook in that order.

Any social with a monthly fee is not going to hit the same network criticality that makes Facebook reign supreme. Attracting people to a new service is hard enough tell them it'll cost 50$ a year and it's hopeless.

[gregknicholson]

The network is not the same thing as the provider. Anyone can use Mastodon for free, so Purism is part of a larger network than just Purism.

Any social media company whose business isn't renting your eyeballs to the highest bidder.

[jawilson2]

Any examples?

[wpietri]

I was mainly kidding, but you could look at Signal as a company like that.

[saagarjha]

Y Combinator?

[chillydawg]

None, obviously.

[inflatableDodo]

The Masons.

[reroute1]

It doesn't stand in those countries obviously it is available there. There is no reason to assume bad intentions either and your first statement was just a lot of assumptions and already has been corrected for being not completely true.

Not working in Ireland at the moment. Reactivated my account to check.

They've got you right where they want you.. /s

Any luck now? I've yet to find anyone actually using the feature and I'm curious what type of browsing data the tool will actually expose.
