In mexico most (if not all) cell service providers give social media for free, ie it uses no data in your phone plan.
What is social media, according to these companies? Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram. That’s it. Everyone uses Facebook marketplace and WhatsApp for everything, because it’s “free”.
I think most people don’t understand the stranglehold Meta has over a huge portion of the world’s population. I’m confident this arrangement is not only going on in mexico.

That’s a great strategy for creating a stranglehold on the market. I hate it.
And that’s why net neutrality is important!
Hopefully NN didn’t get absolutely killed this last time it was shot down.
