    Sure, and there you just have to weigh:

    • Your relationship with that person vs
    • Your desire to have a right to privacy and not participate in a system which weaponizes social media to generate political outcomes favorable to the billionaire owners of those services (ex:, as the stories today show, disallowing saying the word Epstein or Zionist on TikTok).

    I know that isn’t an easy decision and generally I value my relationships more than fighting The Man. I’ve just been lucky enough that my social circle are all other tech people who have been privacy-aware since the beginning. I do keep an iPad to talk to family, but it is not associated with any other account that I use.
