To be clear, I don't think Facebook is flawless. All the issues you bring up are definitely true.

I just think it's unfair to assume that these issues automatically make Facebook evil and that there's no good they do.

They certainly could do good, theoretically. Problem is their business model, because manipulating people doesn't fall under "doing good". As long as they make profit by selling people, they're the opposite of good because their activity goes against peoples' interest.
