Deleted Facebook years ago, yes my world is fine without Facebook.
> I do actually, and in fact through the beauty of the internet a layman could have a pretty good conceptualization of how to do so with their own vehicle through Wikipedia, YouTube, etc.
You've missed the point of my analogy. Facebook is advertised as beneficial, Mark Zuckerberg claims it enriches lives and brings the world together. When a user begins engaging with the service under those pretenses they expect a product that will enrich their life. There are users who are forever tarnished by Facebook, even if they delete the service their data has been mishandled and leaked across the internet.

I think we're clueless for the most part. We're so entrenched in the internet and computer culture we forget about everyone else who isn't. Citizens deserve the right to own their data and have transparency into how it is handled by other services. Companies who don't support that initiative care more about their bottom line than their users.
Nobody is forcing you to use Facebook. Everyone has their own agency in this world. There is no part of the world that is locked out because you don't use Facebook.
These senators are clearly completely clueless for the most part. Many of them so far removed from basic internet and computer literacy it is embarrassing.
