According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) $7,000,000,000,000 were spent on direct and indirect subsidies for fossil fuels in 2022.

Government support for fossil fuels is equivalent to just over 7% of our planet's entire economic output.

By comparison, global education spending accounts for 4.3% of all GDP.

Cutting it could prevent 1.6M premature deaths per year and increase government revenues by $4.4 trillion.

I've not deleted FB or Instagram but have stopped using them. FB might get 5 mins at the weekend but that's it. Haven't touched Threads.

WhatsApp I can't walk away from. Virtually everyone I interact with is on it and uses it. Meta can't scrape my chats and I don't join random groups so I'm unlikely to see objectionable content.
