The internet was made by us, for us, and we can take it back from the noise.

This is Part 1 of a new series I'm starting to help make the internet quieter, break free of doomscrolling, and bring intentionality to how we use our devices. If you enjoyed this piece, please share your feedback or share it! Thank you!

I mean. To do what they want they can use their regular Facebook account in a container, use DNS and probably just ublock origin, and get most of what they're looking for without having to worry too terribly much about carrying around a burner phone (which will more than likely be tied to you by payment information or address when you create the account, unless you're using something like this: https://www.howtogeek.com/this-new-carrier-only-requires-a-zip-code-to-sign-up/

The lengths they are going to could also be solved with apps that lock your phone for specific periods of time and the like.

So if this is specifically about curtailing these things in your life in order to have a more healthy relationship with your devices, then I'm not sure it sends that message effectively.
