It feels like this is a lost case... Since then I spent a couple months in Ecuador (and other SouthAmerican countries), and what I see, was similar:

Less fortunate people, whose (only?) entertainment is TikTok/YouTube/Facebook constantly on their phones. Well, Claro (cell provider with one of the best 3G/4G coverage on Galapagos) greets you with a Facebook(!!!) page explaining that Facebook&sister apps are brought to you for free.

There is zero incentive from any sides to fix this situation. The provider is not interested in ditching Meta, Meta is not interested in promoting anything else, and unfortunately most probably one of them (or both) already paid some gobernadores to shut up and keep the status quo of pointing people to ads, ads, and more ads.
