Your points are well taken.
I believe, more generally, that the problems we're seeing with FB and social media overall were an entirely inevitable result of, effectively, free and unlimited exchange of information among most of the people on this planet.
Even more generally, I think that the effectively free and unlimited ability to exchange information was an entirely inevitable result of the arc of technology as it exists here on planet earth.
Our ability to magically beam information and emotions, at effectively no cost, and with effectively no limits, is, I believe, making us crazy, because our evolutionary neurology is still pretty miuch the same as it has been for the past 100,000 years.
For the record, I firmly believe that FB and the other social media companies, and tech in general, have objectively produced more good than bad. It's just that our still relatively primitive brains can't handle this new kind of bad.
