The debate should really be about the reward system - the like counter - thats the only new thing Facebook has injected into society. It props up all kinds of things good and bad and Social Media execs have fallen into a pattern where they take credit for the good (using the good to defend the Like Counter) and pretend that the bad has nothing to do with the Like Counter. Old social norms go out the window because everyone is busy pointing at the Like counts they have accumulated to justify their actions and behavior. So we are at a stalemate on every debate. Social media companies will talk about everything under the sun other than what happens to society built on top of a like counter.
