You can certainly make a case for facebook being a weapon, but you could just as easily make a case that it's not. This is a terrible thought experiment that has us assume the former without considering the latter.

I didn't mean to make the case that Facebook a weapon. I even said

> Facebook is a tool, the same as that gun.

But I chose a weapon to try to show something with high impact that is simple to understand.

Try it with an unhappy neighbor, a tree on your property line and a set of garden shears.
