Facebook has been criticized for its role in influencing the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election and the Cambridge Analytica data breach that affected 87 million Facebook users.

A lot of people have been unhappy with the company and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg. The company has been accused of sharing users’ data without their consent and not doing enough to stop fake news from spreading on the site.

How to Prepare for the Facebook and Instagram Shutdown
Facebook is shutting down on April 30th, 2022 in Europe. This means that users will no longer be able to upload new content, comment on others’ posts, or see what their friends are up to.
In the coming months, Facebook and Instagram will be shutting down. If you haven’t been following the news closely, this might not seem like a big deal. But if you need to save any of your data before it’s gone, now is the time to start preparing.
First and foremost, take a look at your settings and make sure everything has backup. You can do this by going to Settings > General > Backup and clicking “Back Up Now” on your phone or computer. This will create a backup of all your photos, videos, messages and more so that they don’t disappear when Facebook shuts down.
The shutdown will not affect your Facebook account if you are not a daily user of the site. You can still log into your account and scroll through your news feed, but you won’t be able to upload new content or comment on others’ posts.
What is the Timeline of the Shutdown?
Facebook announced its shutdown in April 2022. It has been gradually rolling out to all users since then. The company will shut down in the next few months.
What are the Alternatives To Instagram And Facebook?
Instagram and Facebook are two of the most popular social media platforms in the world. However, there are many other social media platforms that people can use to share their life with others.
Some alternatives to Instagram and Facebook are:
- Snapchat – This is a photo messaging app which lets you send photos to your friends for a short period of time before they disappear. It is also possible to send videos with Snapchat.
- Twitter – This is another photo messaging service which has gained popularity over the past couple of years because it offers more than just text messaging. You can share photos, videos, and links too.
Social media has been an integral part of our lives for the past decade, but it has also been a place where we have seen some of the most divisive moments in recent memory.
Now, with the shutdown of Facebook and Instagram, it seems that social media is changing. As people are looking for new places to share their thoughts and feelings, this might be an opportunity for new platforms to emerge.
The future of social media depends on what people are looking for in this digital space. It will be up to us as users to decide what type of social media platform we would like to see next.
