Good point but not easy to answer. All services can be viewed with a
Free Software browser but e.g. Facebook tries to convince you of
downloading the non-free Messenger app (you cannot even write FB
messages on your mobile browser anymore IIRC). LibreJS may also warn its
users with most of these services' sites. Is this already Free Software
unfriendly?

Best,
Max
