This article is more than just "Facebook is bad". It's proposing a specific phenomenon the author thinks it's noticed, and digging into what may be behind it.

My democracy is being destroyed by Facebook. What good did dropping it do me?

I just signed up for an account last year. I unfollowed everyone about six months later. Now I pop on every few days and either see something I'm tagged in or it says 'you're all caught up'. Sometimes it throws an error which is rewarding.

Seems to avoid most of the garbage on Facebook but I can still use it to contact people or hit the marketplace.

"Delete Facebook" is like saying "Delete drugs." The whole reason Facebook is dangerous is because its draw on the human psyche is stronger than that of the average person to resist, and that the people who do engage with it can harm the people who don't. There needs to be a national social media policy the way there is a national drug policy. We need to have the conversation about where we want to be as a country from "full ban" to "fully legal," just like people recognize that a country's drug policy can be somewhere between Singapore's and Portugal's.
