I prefer to focus on the concrete actions that individuals do. In this news story, Facebook is not exerting any influence beyond what 10,000 residents of Menlo Park would have (in fact, probably far less), so there is no need to bring in extra narrative structure. I mean, I can play this game too. When I have my bike stolen, I report it to the police and just have to buy another one. But when a few overworked HR people have their 10th bike stolen of the week, they report it to the police and in turn get smeared in hit pieces without any opportunity to defend themselves, by an media industry worth $1 trillion. Why is the little guy getting crushed by these corporate behemoths? The point is, if you play with narrative like this, the little guy can be whoever you want it to be. That's why narratives are fundamentally dishonest.
