It's naive to think that local newspapers would just spring back to life if Facebook disappeared.

The internet has changed how people consume and get new information forever and that won't change anytime soon.

I'm not arguing for actual news*papers. But Facebook and Reddit and other such aggregators are killing even local forums. They're sucking the local monetization into a US based black hole (because they then proceed to dodge taxes in the US).
