They will just rename/reform themselves. And there are other channels for spying on people.

This brings up the question: is there a good, realistic guide for a normal person on how to prevent being spied on?

Delete your Facebook account and use DNS and browser extensions to block facebook, instagram, and oculus domains.
You won’t like this but don’t use technology and especially the Internet. Your data is being mined by ISPs and linked to transactions, your mobile devices are triangulated so the know your location at all time, and expecting any privacy in a world that mines your data is impossible, especially since security actually means “hasn’t been hacked or don’t know if it’s been hacked yet”.

If you relocate, you can move to Japan, the culture is very privacy friendly. They don’t even tell spouses if they’ve seen a missing person. The culture shift is probably the easiest but immigration to Japan isn’t easy and they don’t allow dual citizenship.

Like how Facebook renamed itself to meta?
