US social media platforms are:
Twitter / X,
Faceboook,
Instagram,
Pinterest
LinkedIn
Snapchat
Everyone uses social media, Twitter / X, Meta / Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube. They generate huge profits through advertising and are often misused to influence elections, allows, hate, misogyny etc to proliferate. They are also often factually incorrect and influence people to take incorrect actions,
Since Donald Trumps inauguration, which all the CEOs of major social media brands attended, these platforms have halted their DEI programs, and removed their fact checking services so that they are even more toxic.
Musk's platform Twitter / X has no fact checking. Musk is active on the platform often sharing incorrect information.
If you dont use these platforms, their revenue will dry up.
Ideally just don't use social media provided by large US based companies.
So perhaps the best approach is to use alternate social media platforms which have responsible approach to their operation. Except there arent really any.
A lot of people are migrating from Twitter / X to Bluesky.
Also you could use Telegram which was founded in Russia but now based in Dubai. Telegram also has a poor record of management, being banned in some countries so this isnt really a viable option.
Alternatively use Chinese alternatives such as TikTok, QQ or Sina Weibo and others. Although the chinese are not known for data security.
