    It’s probably because Israel was getting bombed last month and their bots were temporarily unavailable.

    They are reporting “family daily active users” and I assume that this “family” means all of their apps. They are reporting 3.56 billion DAU, but Whatsapp alone has 3.3 billion users according to some sources. So we really do not know how Facebook or Instagram are doing from those numbers - and it does make sense that user numbers are dropping when Russia is restricting access to WhatsApp & Co and Iran is switching off its internet.

    This fucking site, I swear… I want to delete my account. But my account is blocked. I never used Facebook on another device than my PC, never on mobile. And to unlock my account to delete it, I have to… log in from another device. No other way. I tried everything, and the best is, their fucking customer centre is a useless chatbot. I hate this.

      I deleted my account and it was reactivated 3 years later because they didn’t want to show less users to shareholders

      I’m in the same boat. I even tried emailing them my license. There is nothing I can do to delete my account from highschool.

      Wouldn’t be amazing that some kind of hacker group would delete accounts on request, as long as these accounts aren’t actively used?

        I thought about that, but tell who ? There is only a PO Box, so I’ll have to send a letter, no mail, and only a broken chatbot in the support…

            Thank you ! I’ll try the hr email, that’s a good idea. If it doesn’t pan out I’ll try a letter. It’s so crazy how hidden and complex they make this process. It’s clearly on purpose and evil, but nobody in the EU politics cares.

    Facebook will announce some new feature, spin up a few million more bots, and have a glowing report for the investors next month.

    Good to see people may finally be waking up to the idea that these companies are trash.
