I value contacts with my family and friends more than protecting what's left of my privacy from Facebook.

So I will accept the terms of use without reading them like anyone else, continue to vote for politicians that do laws to protect my privacy, such as the GDPR, and continue to fight the privacy abuses at my own scale.

This is the pragmatic approach to the issue. Switching from a ubiquitous communications platform to something that practically nobody uses (relative to WhatsApp's active user numbers) carries a high cost in Weirdness Points[0], and those are only very slowly renewable unless you want to be seen as "the rebel of the family".

There is nothing pragmatic in helping Facebook dominate our lives entirely.

As with anything else, pragmatism is heavily dependent on context.

Perhaps for that user, this is the pragmatic approach.

To me, it's the opposite.
