FB is at best a footgun when it comes to small businesses. Right now, if you don't exist on facebook, it's a bad hit to your sales. However, existing on facebook requires the goodwill of... well facebook. They can wipe you out of existence in a few clicks, just by deleting your page. It happened to me once. I was suddenly banned from posting ads on instagram. No explanation given. Then I appealed, and it was restored. Still no explanation given. Of course I stopped paying those <insert insulting word here> pigs. But still, the situation remains: you have to be on facebook, but they can unjustly dispose of you. Meta has a monopoly on communication channels. It's not better, it's just a monopoly. That needs to change.
