This seems like a new chain letter. I'm seeing it on Facebook:

I'm Opting Out too!

I do not give permission for Facebook to charge $4.99 a month to my account, also; all my pictures are my property of mine and NOT Facebook's!!!

NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.

I HEREBY STATE THAT I DO NOT GIVE FACEBOOK META MY PERMISSION TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA OR PHOTOS.

Copy and paste, do not share. I am getting more sales ad posts than friends' posts. Hold your finger anywhere in this post and click ′′ copy ". Go to your page where it says "What's on your mind." Tap your finger anywhere in the blank field. Click paste. This upgrades the system.

For the 100th time everyone's promising to leave.

The red line for me was when I was no longer able to exclude advertising with the introduction of "promoted" posts. Plus I had shortly before that seen a paper that examined how their algorithm treated "alt right" users, hiding most of their follows content, and I was getting bored shitless scrolling and the two things together galvanised me.

I hope some more leave but I look at the quality of people around the place these days and they are so despondent and submissive, most of them will be back, and will start to pay for their manipulation directly.

True. You can block and mute advertisers, but it's annoying.
