Departing Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to Uphold Ethical Principles

In an era increasingly shaped by the influence of powerful social media platforms, Drone Media Imaging has made the principled decision to leave Facebook, Threads, and Instagram – we already left Twitter when Musk took over. This move is a response to growing concerns over the erosion of societal values and ethics caused by misinformation, manipulation, and questionable corporate governance under the leadership of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and in particular, Zuckerberg’s recent annoucement to remove the remain guard rails to truth and decency.

As a small, owner-managed business, Drone Media Imaging has always prioritised authenticity, trust, and ethical responsibility in its operations. However, the pervasive spread of misinformation and the corrosive effects on society’s well-being through these platforms have reached a point where remaining active participants feels counterproductive and contrary to our values.

Leaving these platforms is not just a business decision—it’s a moral stand. It’s about voting with our feet and demonstrating that we won’t support platforms that prioritise control or people and profits over truth, community, and integrity. This decision reflects our commitment to aligning our business practices with the values we hold dear.

We are staying with LunkedIn. Why LinkedIn?

While departing from Facebook, Threads, Twitter, and Instagram, Drone Media Imaging will maintain its presence on LinkedIn—a platform that aligns more closely with professional values and constructive business networking.

In our opinion, LinkedIn offers an ethical and purposeful environment where businesses and professionals can connect, share ideas, and grow together. It provides a space where meaningful engagement takes precedence over algorithms designed to exploit attention or mislead users. For my business, LinkedIn represents the kind of platform I can stand behind – or at least that is our opion for now! If that changes it will go the same way as Meta and be scheduled for deletion.

By focusing exclusively on LinkedIn, Drone Media Imaging will continue to provide updates, share expertise, and engage with clients and peers in a manner that prioritises professionalism, transparency, and value-driven communication.
