No, I don’t think I will.

    That’s how you know the privacy protections are working. Meta won’t let you in if they can’t identify you well enough to sell your data.

    I think the privacy protection is fixing the issues.

    I think these privacy protections should not plain out block data from sites like Facebook and or instagram, they should just feed them bogus nonsense data.

      That is what the Ad Nauseum extension does: “AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users. Built atop uBlock Origin, AdNauseam quietly clicks on every blocked ad, registering a visit on ad networks’ databases. As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile.”

    It will resolve the issues Instagram has with successfully invading your privacy. It never said anything about resolving the issues viewing the page.
