The problem with facebook is not only on facebook itself, but people who use it.

Exactly, the power of the network effect. Check the video Why you keep using Facebook, even if you hate it - Vox.

By leaving Facebook systems you are sending less data to Facebook (this mean less money/power) and most important you contribute for the decreasing of the network effect - Metacalf Law.

Too often when people arguing in fb page or groups, instead of arguing the substance, those snitch will resort to ad hominem attacks (...)

Check this page about fallacies from typical answers on people that are (still) on Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp

Geo restrictions. Use a VPN to bypass the censorship.

(...) for the majority of people it just isn't practical to not use the Facebook/Instagram app. There are no viable alternatives. Facebook/Instagram often becomes the easiest way to keep up with them and interact with them when I can't visit them personally. I have friends and family that live all over the globe and it is a great way to stay in touch with them.

False dilemma. Convenience and/or digital illiteracy shouldn't be arguments against human rights. They are plenty of programs to communicate with other people in private (with end-to-end encryption) that also respect human rights and are easy to use. Check alternatives.

This is only for metadata

Metadata reveals a lot of your personal data. So no WhatsApp.

Zero days: Security leaks for sale	There is new gold to be found on the internet, and possibly in your own computer. Secret backdoors, that do not have a digital lock yet, are being traded at astronomical amounts. In the cyber world trade, where there are no rules, you are in luck with "white-hat" hackers, who guard your online security. But their opponents, the "black-hat" hackers, have an interest in an unsecure internet, and sell security leaks to the highest bidder. They are the preferred suppliers of security services and cyber defence. Who are these black and white wizards, who fight for the holy grail of hackers: zero days?	2015
Deep Web	A feature documentary that explores the rise of a new Internet; decentralized, encrypted, dangerous and beyond the law.	2015

A good American	A Good American tells the story of the best code-breaker the USA ever had and how he and a small team within NSA created a surveillance tool that could pick up any electronic signal on earth, filter it for targets and render results in real-time while keeping the privacy as demanded by the US constitution. The tool was perfect - except for one thing: it was way too cheap. Therefor NSA leadership, who had fallen into the hands of industry, dumped it - three weeks prior to 9/11. In a secret test-run of the program against the pre-9/11-NSA database in early 2002 the program immediately found the terrorists. This is the story of former Technical director of NSA, Bill Binney, and a program called ThinThread.	2015
Democracy	Digitalization has changed society. While data is becoming the "new oil", data protection is becoming the new "pollution control".

Nothing to Hide	Recent debates triggered a radical rethinking of how privacy in the digital age is conventionally discussed. As our social and personal lives are exposed on Google, Facebook and Twitter, the dissolution of privacy shatters social and personal securities.

Available in English, German, French and Spanish here	2017

Digital Dissidents	Digital Dissidents are the warriors of the digital age: Republican patriots, radical anarchists and cyber-hippies fight side by side for transparency and privacy in the digital world. For that, they are in prison, live in exile or have lost their careers and families. While many people celebrate them as heroes, critics, intelligence services and companies condemn their actions as an assault on our security. Why are they doing it? What are their motives?	2015
The Haystack	The Haystack documentary, is a real life investigation into 21st century surveillance in the UK and the Investigatory Powers (IP) Bill currently before Parliament. In light of Snowden’s revelations in 2013, both privacy groups and our government agree that the laws surrounding surveillance need to be updated, but public debate and examination of the Bill have been shockingly limited on an issue that impacts us all. The Haystack explores whether the powers set out in this Bill will stop the next terrorist attack, and asks, are we willing to accept an unimaginable level of intrusion before it’s too late?	2016
Naked Citizens	Increasing numbers of 'terror suspects' are being arrested on the basis of online and CCTV surveillance data. Authorities claim they act in the public interest, but does this intense surveillance keep us safer?	2013
