Very strange to wish harm upon your friends with the hope that that will convince them to join your side in a political fight! I would suggest instead that you only wish that if it becomes a painful experience, they would realize why and renegotiate their relationship with FB. Typically wishing pain on your friends is not a good stance.

Trying to deny that fact for so long only accomplished setting my life back by several years. Even the simplest things like dental hygiene only became habits because I suffered catastrophic losses from neglecting them.

The pain will come sooner or later since we (at least in the US) aren't addressing the irresponsible data practices in industry. The sooner people detach themselves from the likes of FB, the better off they'll be when leaks happen.
