      Facebook at least allows to share some content, some articles etc. Instagram and tiktok is just so plain, no content whatsoever.

        No Facebook and Insta? nice advantages to app developer to make new FB and IG.

                    some people do have friends outside their computers so certainly they will not become frinedless overnight. Also if a person can't imagine their life without Facebook then what a boring life they must have 🤡

                              I worked in tech for decades. People were being tracked even before social media. AI has just made it easier due to algorithms decision processing.
                              If it isn't a current social media company there will be a new one, even more sophisticated.

                                OK, what about other cancers like Tiktok, Pornhub, Onlyfans? It's worse than Meta. Don't be half-hearted, EU.

                                  Welcome back EU. Its ten years late but a lovely and great decision. These companies turned the internet into some massive data collection tool without any ethics and morals and respect for basic human rights. Lots of social manipulation going on nowadays using the data collected.

                                    This is so true 👏🏻👏🏻 good job EU 👍🏻

It�... moreYes, the outcome is surely predictable, but scrolling through the comments here made me a bit curious about the percentage difference. Also the poll could be made in not such a black and white, do or do not style. Maybe add other poll options like:
                                        I can live absolutely fine without the Meta apps.
                                        It would be an inconvenience, but I could still manage.
                                        I don't really use them as much.

                                        GSMArena genrally knows how to adress questions.
