暫別臉書、推特，好主意？

了解臉書相關隱私政策之後，對其存有疑慮也許合乎情理。

不過，你還是會想在社交媒體上與他人交流互動吧；何不試試下面這些臉書替代平臺？

MeWe網路平臺

如果你在一個為完備強大的社交媒體網站，或許可以試試MeWe。

MeWe網站的介設計與臉書相似，所以，前臉書用戶都會備感熟悉。

MeWe擁有許多和臉書相同的功能，諸如照片分享及訊息收發，它所沒有的是廣告和數據追蹤。

既然MeWe不會用廣告賺取財富，便會針對一些首要服務收取費用。

Mastodon聯邦

你是推特的愛用者嗎？

試試看Mastodon吧。

Mastodon網站的使用介面暨操作方式都類似推特，只不過有幾個重大變革。

Mastodon讓建立名為「實例」的小型營運站點為容易；它也讓用戶擁有更多隱私、零廣告置入，以及更完善的騷擾行為監測方式。

無論選用哪一種社群媒體平臺，務必在註冊帳號之前先細讀隱私政策。
