The world would be a better place if Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, tick tock, and the rest ceased to exists.

maybe but facebook is miles worse than twitter with their groups and the how they promote stuff that you arent even subscribed to.

it isn't hard to avoid politics on twitter. my twitter feed is like if the more sports board banned poli board posters

They aren't going away. Can't put the genie back in the bottle here.

Too many conservatives people on the right say "get off of Facebook and Twitter!". It's a terrible idea. It's a surrender. The better solution is for everyone to get on there and get loud. They can't ban everyone and survive.

Exactly. This shouldn't be a partisan issue understanding that these social media companies are bad for this country and for the world. They're incredibly manipulative with absolutely zero accountability.

I quit using FB probably 5 or so years ago and don't miss it a bit. Right wing, left wing, virtue signaling, conspiracy theories, just a fricking absolute cesspool of opinions and statements from people that I considered friends and acquaintances.

As a society, we used to put the crazies away in homes or hide them in public. Social media not only drags them out of the woodwork but gives them spotlights and megaphones to amplify their insanity.

Start considering these companies publishers, holding them legally liable for what's published on their platforms, and they'll straighten right the frick up.

I enjoy seeing pictures of traveling etc but I don’t use social media as a place that I get me news feed. Unfortunately it seems that a lot of the general public reach for their phones to get information

The "share" button ruined Facebook. There used to be a lot more people posting original thoughts, jokes, pictures they took, etc. People had to put forth a little originality or effort (copy/paste) to create content, now they just hit the share button.

The "share" function should be renamed "regurgitate".
