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.

All ya’ll gotta do is shut it down and chances are they will do what the users want.

If they don’t. Fine. They become another FOX station and Dems can mock them too.

For FUCKS sake. Give up the FB accounts.
