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.

  I don't care, I don't use either but I'm capable of ethical analysis
