We don't, we just don't have any power to stop it, other than shrugging and moving away from FB ourselves, which a lot of people have done already.

"We don't..." I turn to look at the 50 people that don't while the billions of other FB users have no idea about it. This is why you have no power to stop it.

don’t work at facebook

"i don't work here. I just volunteer several hours of my day creating engaging content to a billion dollar company for free"

Don't shrug it off, shame and peer pressure those around you who continue to use it, like smoking or drunk driving. Network effects work in reverse too

Because Facebook has the power to help or harm reelection campaigns of politicians. Also, if they destroyed the monopolies and with it the market cap of companies like Facebook, the pension funds of many potential voters would look much more meeker.

Because when alternatives arise people choose the default path instead of change.
