Author guy dares to blame the promotion of "anti-vaxers" by Facebook as the reason for the platform's decline when it was the lockdown and vaccine skeptics that were getting deplatformed left and right and the protestors having their bank accounts frozen that led to an absolute breakdown in trust in social media companies. Your job as a platform is not to wade into any topic and fact-check it. If someone you know is spouting off things you don't like on your feed, you can simply mute them or unfollow them. The antivaxxers were more right than they were wrong. The vaccine didn't stop Covid, natural immunity is not a right wing conspiracy theory, and lockdowns and mask mandates were excessive abuses of liberty and ineffective to boot. But I digress. Absolutely no one wants a nanny bot to prevent discussion or opinions from being said on their own page. I also don't want to see 15 recommended groups, ads, or pages being injected into my feed while I'm trying to check whose birthday it is and what people got going on lately in their lives. The reason Instagram is doing pretty decent is that it's a far less noisy social media site. It's mostly photos and video stories.
