Exactly.

It's a for-profit company.

They care about your privacy like McDonald's cares about your health: if you have any left then they're not squeezing cash from you hard enough.

Talk to friends on Signal, invite your favorite The Atlantic reporter, use self-hosted or federated social networks.

Expecting privacy on corporate owned social media is like expecting to become a royal because you went to Disney World.

Don't confuse the facade (social space for you and your friends/magical kingdom) with the reality (privacy stealing monetization factory/tourist juicer).
