Well, you've described a problem for which this isn't a technical fix, but for which there is a technical fix: a decentralized open source social network on which you retain complete control over which of your data ever enters its ecosystem.

Absolutely. A distributed system where each user controls their data is theoretically an architectural fix. But not one that is an option for FB since owning my data is the core of their business model.

Yep, that's how I see it too. It's becoming increasingly obvious.

Fortunately "existing as a for-profit corporation" is not a fundamental right to FB.

And then Facebook will buy it and change it.
