Suggesting that Facebook, YouTube, or whatever should be shut down is folly.

46. There's never a shortage of people to tell you what you shouldn't do.

Most of them have no real information to offer, though - just more propaganda from somewhere else.

People tell me I see too much false stuff on Facebook. When I tell them I don't see any political stuff there, they don't believe me. That tells me that they don't actually use Facebook themselves, or dipped into it briefly and then fled from the place.

Like every platform that allows you to customize your experience, Facebook will let you tailor the site to suit your own needs and interests. Where else can find a group of people who make unique tubas from different parts from different manufacturers? The Frankentuba group is exactly that. Maybe a couple hundred people for whom that is a primary interest.

Guess what? On that private group, any political discussion gets you tossed out of the group. There are many groups on FB that forbid all political discussion. I'm a member of several such FB groups, and they are where I spend most of my FB time. My own feed is politics-free as well. Anyone who spouts politics gets hidden.
