So I recently made two (long) posts about how to clear your Off-Meta Activity and how to toggle-off Meta Ads Data Permissions for those who are unable to leave Facebook for any reason. I decided it might be good to also post a short version of both together that might be easier to share. Let's just jump into it:
Profile icon ➡️ Settings and Privacy ➡️ Settings ➡️ See more in Accounts Center ➡️ Your Information and Permissions ➡️ Your activity off Meta technologies
Once in the Your activity off Meta technologies window you're going to want to clear your previous activity, then disconnect your future activity.
Profile icon ➡️ Settings and Privacy ➡️ Settings ➡️ See more in Accounts Center ➡️ Ad preferences ➡️ Manage info
Once in the Manage Info window you'll notice three categories: Information used to show you ads, Ads shown outside of Meta, and Other settings.
In the Information used to show you ads category:
Open Categories used to reach you, and disable all those options. Then, in the bottom of that same window, find Categories associated with you ➡️ View and manage, and remove them all
Disable Activity information from ad partners
Go through Audience-based advertising and remove permissions/lists there.
In the Ads shown outside of Meta category:
Disable Ads from ad partners in other apps
Disable Ads about Meta on other platforms
Then under the Other Settings category:
Click on Social interactions and disable Meta from including your social interactions alongside ads that your friends see.

And we're done!
If you'd like a more in-depth post with pictures to help you do this you can follow the links above to find those.
Also, even if you can't delete your Facebook account, I urge you to please delete/uninstall the app from your phone as that's the #1 best way to keep it from tracking you everywhere you go IRL and online.
(You may need to go into Settings ➡️ Apps to fully uninstall the FB app. I thought I deleted it years ago, but still found it in my list of apps just the other day. Turns out I only "disabled" it, and had to "uninstall" by going through settings (I assume uninstalling through app store should also work tho))
That said, if you delete no other Meta app from your phone- make sure to delete FB messenger- it's literally the worst one, but that's another post, which I'll hopefully get to later.
Stay safe out there, and remember- fuck Facebook.

This is the only day you can reblog this.
On this day, May 21st, Philip Wittebane started recording his journey through the Boiling Isles.
"My journey through the Demon Realm is far from over. But today I humbly donate my journal to the ages. Entry One: May 21…I think. My Name is Philip Wittebane."
Sometimes, I just feel like screaming. Like, if can feel something sitting in the center of my chest, something heavy, but it never rises up of falls down.
Sometimes, I just feel like crying. I can feel the sob in my throat, and the tears starting to burn the back of my eyes. But I never do, because it always goes away.
I never tell anyone what I am thinking, what I am feeling, because it has become something that I see as whining in my eyes. These things that I feel come randomly and sporadically, so I don’t see it as something to fear.
But when I read these posts and stories, something that I bond myself with, and they talk about things that happen to be what I think/say/do, I find it harder and harder to keep these things in. There are barricades that are built in my head like the Great Wall, but they seem to be crumbling down one day at a time...and I’m scared about what will happen next.
I don’t know who to talk to; don’t know if anyone will even care, or say that I’m just being dramatic, or ‘It’s just a face because you’re young!’
Drawing has helped me, but not enough. Screwing over my sleep scedual to fall asleep at midnight is fucking with me, and school has started become just another burden, another weight on my back, and stress ha become something more than just something every once in a while. It’s alway with me, to the point where I am starting to get nervous tics every time I talk.
I don’t know... just gotta pull through I guess.
Friendly reminder to practice the things that you may think you’re bad at. Some marker art practice, and a surprise Casey Jones for your troubles.
Reblog and put in the tags if you can remember where you got the shirt you're currently wearing.
I originally drew this two years ago, getting inspiration from a Barbie movie I watched for nostalgia. I wanted to do more characters, but burnout hit me hard and I didn’t continue. Maybe I can do that again 🤔
Maids, cleaners, janitors, and sanitation workers are all the most important people of civilization by far. Even 12 hours without them is VERY noticable and they simply need to be highly compensated for it
SEND ME A CHARACTER + EMOTION/COLOR PALETTE (OR BOTH)
feel free to reblog and use them yourself :)
