I'm more scared about the government than the industry. With industry I  always have the choice of not using it, and they depend on customers, so in  the end, that protects me.

I don't use any of the Meta products, but they still know about me as "friends" have uploaded pictures of me to facebook, or their contacts lists  to whatsapp.

Why would they do that? It does not sound like friends to me, since they do not respect your wishes, nor your privacy.

Note my use of "friends" not friends.  When I asked why I was told that what I don't know can't hurt me.
As for whatsapp, as I understand it, it is all or nothing thing about what it uploads, and some of them are people that I work with, so we need each others phone numbers whilst working.  They think I'm odd for not using it.
