The issue is not Facebook. The issue is being equipped to handle information forwarded by your FB friends. Skeptical thinking, the impulse to distrust anecdotes first, the impulse to double check articles by using other news sources: It's a skill that should be taught to kids early. I enjoy Facebook to read about what my extended friends and family are doing. I'm ok with FB showing me ads, even personalized ads, if that is what it takes to use this free service.
