I don't disagree... but we must keep the pressure up. I know I've helped a little more than 10 people leave FB and Google (and most of Microsoft)... A couple of them have left Apple too... It's a slow, but steady movement. :-)

    Maybe

    I believe that one should leave those platforms for personal reasons. Not as a statement to those companies.

    I left because I don't like being tracked or being forced to accept being tracked. I did not leave because I wanted them to stop tracking their users or to show them that i don't like them doing it.

    Imo these companies won't change the way they operate and even if they did, I wouldn't trust them to have done so. They will always find loopholes and workarounds to get to what and where they want.

    For me, leaving is a statement, and a personal reason. I don't see how it could not be both? I don't know anyone who trusts them. But shifting the powerbalance towards privacy and ethics, will never be a bad thing.
