>but I find the Facebook walled garden even more terrifying. I see people now, often in online school parent groups I'm a part of, etc. who cannot even use email anymore, who don't use web pages at all, they get all their information through Facebook groups and Facebook, and only talk through Facebook messenger or sometimes SMS
Replace'Facebook' with 'WhatsApp', outside U.S. especially for developing economies, your comment would be completely valid but even more dangerous as unlike Facebook's content WhatsApp's content cannot be put under public scrutiny and much of its users haven't even used a browser before let alone email.
