Facebook is not going away. For many it is a lifeline to family and friends. You can best counter hate speech on Facebook by sharing information. Many folks don't follow the news.

(3,047 posts)Facebook should go away and will if we want it it will. This is not magical thinking. Companies can fall from high spots. They are a media company that hides behind a technology status.
Not selling ads is a great way to hurt a media company that is profiting over the attempted destruction of our democracy.
