Boycotting Facebook

In light of the recent allegations by Frances Haugen around the working practices of Facebook, and the ways in which they are putting profits ahead of the welfare and safety of their users, we have decided to stop using Facebook for the time being. We are particularly concerned by the allegations that the algorithms used by Facebook are contributing to harm to the health and wellbeing of teenage girls, and that the company is aware of the harm being caused but has not taken action to change their algorithms.

We will keep this under review and once we are satisfied that Facebook are genuinely taking steps to minimise the harm done through their social media, we may start using it again.
