Nope I'm angry with Facebook. The point in the article about people's lack of genuine socialisation on Facebook not being Facebooks fault may be true, although here too Facebook's design plays a role by pushing the news feed instead of private conversation until recently.
But that entirely misses the point. This is the last thing people blame Facebook for. People are upset with Facebook because of their mistreatment of user data, the influence of 'fake news' (which sadly has to be put in quotes because it's been hijacked long ago by the producers of fake news), undermining democracy, and so on.
