RE: How ‘engagement’ makes you vulnerable to manipulation and misinformation on social media - The Conversation
what should we do on our devices to avoid the "manipulation" of those social media companies? as a layman in the field of information technology, I and probably many people want to avoid the "manipulation" of social media companies. I sometimes feel embarrassed, when I see ads that I no longer need but appear in my facebook feed, just because a few days ago I was searching on google.
thank you,

Personally, I use the Brave browser and Presearch search engine to try to provide some level of privacy and avoid some of the manipulation. In the end, I don't think there's any way to consume Internet services and completely avoid it. I reckon that the most important things are to be skeptical of the things we see on the Internet and to seek out alternative viewpoints.
I've been using the search engine presearch service for my smartphone a few months ago, but sometimes to do certain searches I have to use google.
