Billions of people use the service for "free". As long as everyone knows they are what's for sale, the rest makes sense. Any company of this size is going to sway discourse so it's time to accept that. I for one do not and thus deleted our family accounts long ago.

I have seen many people brainwashed by highly targeted ads and conspiracies that found them on facebook. Those people vote, break into congress, etc.

deleting your individual account doesn't change that

"deleting your individual account doesn't change that "

It shows, that a life without FB is possible. The more people do it, the easier it gets.

Until the network effect is overcome.
