Taking all behaviors as a whole, from operating the network to the nefarious things they do to make money, many would argue that they are not bad. Preferred over the actual alternatives (e.g. unstable networks, not existing at all, etc) for many in fact.
While I am not a user and don't condone their practices, lots of people are happy and willing participants. Whether they need to be protected from themselves ala seat belts and cigarettes is a societal decision, but right now it's clear the citizenry has a favorable view of them even despite the onslaught from legislators and overarching media narratives.
Going on a tangent here...But I've been thinking about this. At some point it's going to come to a head between these two views of FB if the squeakiest wheels also influence laws. If you rock people's comfy boat too much, there will be backlash.
