And yet, Facebook was the platform that was used to facilitate the live streaming of the horrendous events we saw in New Zealand. I am looking forward to Facebook also being banned.

like guns, 4chan et al. have few positive features and many negative ones. Unlike them, Facebook has a more balanced mix. Please consider the sites as a whole, or please take your false equivalency elsewhere

  I would argue that Facebook has many negative features and few positive ones, with the negative features far outweighing the positive ones. The fact that Facebook spends so many resources making sure you can't ignore it speaks volumes. Meanwhile, facebook "news" is mostly garbage, their livestreaming service is full of livestreamed crime, not even touching what they do with your data, and how much they capture that you don't even know about. 4chan, meanwhile, is exactly what you make of it. All you have to do to not get "shot" on 4chan is stick to any board that isn't /b/ or /pol/ and voila you have heavily moderated anonymous imageboards for a ton of topics.

    You would argue that but you'd be wrong/out of alignment of the vast majority of the world's population.

      That's an excellent rebuttal, lots of people use it so if you don't agree with them you are wrong. Most people use plastic products as well, please tell me how wrong I am for not liking single-use water bottles or disposable utensils. Facebook's userbase is dropping steadily, so I would say that more people are realizing it isn't as great a piece of software as when they first made an account. We're not arguing Stackexchange vs 4chan, its one social network vs another anti-social network, one of which treats you like a gold mine, and the other couldn't care less. I know which one I'd rather use.

Facebook took it down. These other forums have not. Please don't pretend that this is a one off event. These forums are home to all kinds of needless, immoral content. Child porn, people being murdered, etc, etc. It is an active recruitment ground for fascists and white supremacists. One of these things is not like the other.

  The imageboards are ephemeral and probably expired before Facebook took the video down. Child exploitation is regularly reported and removed promptly from the imageboards.
