@jbob2000 agreed, the current reality is that 95-99% of people don't know or don't care where their personal data is stored, who has access to it and how it's being used to manipulate them.
Just because something is the "status quo" doesn't mean that it won't be possible to change. History is full of examples of where once popular ideas/systems/regimes have crumbled in the face of something new.
Again, I remain optimistic that the (unhealthy) "habits Facebook has created in us" can/will be broken.
(and not replaced by something worse!)
Just as Rome was not built in a day, it also did not "fall" in day either. i.e. I don't think a single outage will have much effect on Facebook's dominance.
The first step in helping people "detox" from Facebook is creating an objectively healthier way to spend those "bored" or "lonely" minutes Zuckerberg is obsessed with owning.
