A Modest Proposal for Facebook: End Facebook Live

I definitely interpreted the title in that way; it was somewhat confusing for me, as at first I assumed that the article was going to be satire (or at least a strawman) based on that

As someone who isn't the OP you're responding to, I definitely interpreted the title to be a reference to the essay. I think "A Modest Proposal" is one of those phrases where it is hard to use it without immediately connecting it to the essay (at least for some people).

The general idea of "A Modest Proposal" is to hunger by eating babies. Its one of the most famous works of satire, although it is several hundred years old.

Basically, anything titled "a modest proposal" will likely be treated as satire, at least to anyone who has studied that essay.

Its basically the historical English-literature version of Colbert's "Truthiness" skit. You pretty much can't use the word "Truthiness" in today's political atmosphere without invoking an image of satire. Or if I said something about Chocolate Rain, or Sneezing Pandas. Some phrases just have hidden meaning to some people out there...
