I'm not clear on how to quantify "enormous". Many people don't use facebook and still manage to make appointments and lead fulfilling social lives.
That said, it is clear that for many people the "social cost" is larger than the "facebook evil cost", even for people demanding government intervention. I guess for those people, the cost for demanding politicians Do Something is even less.

It depends a lot on your country or region. Your life is different from other people's lives. In my country, decoupling from Facebook is pretty easy. Google, less so, but doable. In some countries, decoupling from certain apps or ecosystems will leave you pretty much stranded.
