Make All Messenger Calls From Facebook Optional
I'm starting a petition to tell Facebook that we should have the right to be able to completely turn off all Facebook messenger calls on our phones and disable all voice and video calls.
Several people, including myself, have complained about this issue. Therefore, I think we should get our voices heard so we don't have to hear unwanted voice calls (especially at 3 am) due to disgracebook violating people's privacy and ignoring several complaints to fix this issue.

Why is this important?
For years, several people, including myself, have made requests to Facebook to be able to disable all Messenger calls from Facebook on our phones and be able to turn off all voice and video calls completely. Many people feel that their privacy is violated and are irked by being woken up at 3 or 4 in the morning by strangers calling them on their phones using Facebook Messenger.
Despite all of the complaints I saw on a thread a few years ago, Facebook not only did nothing to solve the issue, they actually closed the thread so additional comments could no longer be added to this thread. This is seriously virtually harassing people since many have reported being woken up by strangers calling them at 3 or 4 am on Facebook Messenger and several others have also commented on not even being able to do a simple task on their phone without being interrupted by yet another Messenger call from some stranger on Facebook. There isn't even an option to log out of this application, and despite setting your status to inactive and muting all notifications on this app, it still makes an annoying noise when someone who tried to video-call you on your phone hangs up. This violates our privacy. If a telemarketer knocks on our door trying to sell a product, we've always had the option to be able to shut the door and walk away without being bothered by a telemarketer. And if they did try to bother us again and again by knocking on our door at 3 or 4 am, we could call the police and get them arrested. This is not the case with Facebook Messenger, and I think we should still have the right to be able to walk away and not be bothered by intruders, whether it's in person or virtually.
Therefore I think we should get our voices heard, so we don't have to hear unwanted voice calls (especially at 3 am) due to disgracebook violating people's privacy and ignoring several complaints to fix this issue. Feel free to sign my other petition that addresses the same issue on a different site.
