You’re essentially arguing that your group of acquaintances is a bellwether, or at least strongly predictive of national or global outcomes for one of the biggest companies in the world. I don’t know your acquaintances, but in general that seems pretty unlikely to me.

The threat to Facebook is not mass consumer hate and abandonment. It’s that no one likes them enough to stand up for them anymore, which empowers the relatively few people who seek advantage against them.

A lot of things in politics and policy become possible with relatively small shifts in public sentiment.

True, and what we're seeing these days is a play to affect public sentiment.
