Is There any way to Escape From Meta(facebook) Survilence.

First of All I dont like whatsapp and Asked my contacts to use Signal instead to message me. Some of them did but many didn't because They don't mind their personal data being send to pervy facebook's survilence server. They Say things like "Am I doing Any Crime Then Why Should I Care" and "Only Criminals Will Try To Hide Their Conversation". Its hard to ignore whatsapp as most people will never to make a switch to signal or any other messenger.

Secondly I am tired of telling my friends to stop using Instagram. They are very addicted to it and can't leave its algorithm and slop. I don't use instagram for reels I only use it to communicating with my friends who only DM me reels and posts

Lastly I don't use facebook but many person I know uses it, when I took a look at it I was able surprised to see many unrestricted NSFW content was there under recommendation panel also Saw the same on instagram.
Any Recommended Stratergy To make them ditch Meta ?
Do you really need facebook and instagram? I think using whatsapp is enough for people to reach you, so at least cutting down number of meta services would be good.
I personally don't see getting instagram feeds or facebook feeds as vital, since being reachable and being able to chat is more important while reels and pics is whatever. And those who use Instagram and facebook probably have whatsapp, so they can dm you there.
Yeah I dont have a facebook account and only had whatsapp but My friends asked me many times to create an insta account so I did it because of their constant request. I have it in my browser with adblock enabled also restricting js from facebook.net (tracking) domain.
I'd get rid of the instagram account if that is the case with how much habits are tracked just from browser activity like what you click, how much you scroll, what topics interest you, which profiles you visit most, like, etc. I used to have one too.
Whatsapp is the one that is hard to get away from with it falling more into essential service due to network effect while instagram is an optional supplemental social media.
