Maybe people don't explicitly think that, but people who demand a Facebook ban must at least implicitly believe they're somehow superior to the billions of Facebook users, otherwise how could they justify the notion that they way they want those people to spend their time is better than the way those people have demonstrated they want to spend their time? If I were to say to a grown adult "I demand you stop smoking pot, it's bad for you!", I can't imagine a way I could do that without coming across as believing I knew better than them.
