> Those are strong words, but I'm afraid the "we as a society" are not as much of a power as one would hope.

If everyone would abandon FB, they would go out of bussiness.

People have much more power that they think they do.

They just do not know it.

Frankly, I really don't care. I keep my account and treat it like what it is, utter garbage. Though, it keeps my contacts in cases where it's convenient to connect. If not FB, it would be something else.

The problem is those people who derive their world-view from social media platforms and buy in to all the lies and manipulation from bullies. There's pressure for accountability, and that should be a good thing, although we need to keep watch. If they oust the bullies and fake lies, good riddance. I don't need someone telling me their "Final Solution", especially without anything backing their words.
