# Why and how to move away from Meta

A
: [[structure note]]


## Structure

[[Meta is a bad actor]].

e.g. [[Meta and YouTube deliberately designed addictive products]].
e.g. [[Meta report shows the company causes far more emissions than it can cover with renewable energy]]

Unfortunately, [[A lot of people use Meta products]].
That said, [[The world uses Meta products for some positive functions]].

While the ultimate goal is to abolish Meta as an organisation, there's plenty of scope in that for selective replacement of the services it offers.
So it's not just a case of getting rid of Meta and its products.

[[We should resist, regulate and recode Meta]].

A lot of it should be recoded. ([[Tactics of digital prefiguration]])
See [[Libre software alternatives to Meta products]] for some examples.
State / municipal support via public funding for digital infrastructure and institutions, [[public-commons partnerships]].
State / municipal support for open standards.

There may need to be some intermediary regulation to break it down. ([[Tactics of digital reform]])

In the meantime, we'll need to resist a lot of its practises. ([[Tactics of digital resistance]])
