0. Whistleblowing is a real shitty strategy for enacting change. How about actually fighting for it from the inside first?
1. "Think of the children", really? Maybe the answer is children shouldn't be using the internet unsupervised but that's hardly Facebook's problem.
2. I hate misinformation as much as the next guy, but whether people like to believe in stupid shit like the magnetizing effect of vaccines is up to them. The fact that they believe in this shit is a failure of the educational system and our society in general. For better or worse, free speech is the cornerstone of American society, and again it's hardly Facebook's problem.
3. If people resort to Facebook for their daily "news" consumption, that speaks more of the abject failure of traditional media than it does of Facebook's nefarious motives. Maybe fix the tragic decline of journalism in this country before trying to single out one Tech organization as the scapegoat du jour.
(Throwaway because it's hard to have an opinion these days without being judged. I'm a vaccinated immigrant who hates being an Independent because that mostly means the two alternatives are shitty)
