Facebook can totally manipulate people into voting for politicians who can do any number of the things you mentioned. If that fails, we can also assume it has enough private information to blackmail people in positions of power.

Yeah, let's just abolish government/politicians. That will make the system more resilient against power abuse.

What's the point? New power structures would arise immediately after. Let's abolish Facebook instead. Google too. And every other surveillance capitalist. They have too much power, too much data on people.
