If you have a Facebook account. You support this. No excuses. You have had plenty of time to make arrangements and adjust.
You 100% are participating in the financing of this shit.
Except for all the local government departments who only provide information on Facebook, and Facebook who loves to sign-in wall information.
It's absolutely infuriating, but it is an unfortunate reality that many will be unwilling to not have a Facebook account simply for that reason, even if they don't actively engage on Facebook.
This and several other reasons make absolutes like yours somewhat unworkable. Participating and being "part" of Facebook means you're supporting it. Having an account does not as there are innumerable reasons to have an account that don't involve supporting Facebook, they are not difficult to think of.
Yes. There is no “even if”. If you have an account- you support everything they do. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Either you’re willing to make a sacrifice to uphold your beliefs or your believes are only such so long as they aren’t inconveniencing you.
