Clearly the campaign against FB is to get Zuck to censor more, the media lackeys at CNN are on the case!
> zero regard for actual human happiness and societal well-being.
You said nothing actionable. "Actual human happiness." Lol. "Societal well-being" Whoa.
Have you compared their happiness output levels to other social media companies?
Where's the study that the societal well-being meters for Twitter are better than FB?
Form a clear criticism of what you want FB to do. I assume it has something to do with censoring dissent?

Cute, you linked a Wikipedia article about whataboutism. Linking to it doesn't make it relate to this though.
Please expand on your criticisms so we can debate them, everything you said is subjective and obscure so I'm trying to figure out what exactly you are taking issue with, hence the other social media services offered as a comparison. Do they do that too in your opinion? Is it Facebook only? Did you see them sacrificing babies? Do you want them to censor more?
Comparisons are how you find contradictions.

Them: Facebook is bad You: What about Twitter and TikTok ?
I'm pointing out that you are not refuting their point while still defending Facebook.
It seems you believe social medias are the way they are because that's all they can be.
It shows a lack of imagination and understanding of how they influence each others rather than compete to the benefit of users and society.
I don't understand accusations of whataboutism. They oftentimes seem hypocritical: accusing someone of whataboutism is as relevant (and therefore, by its own logic, as rhetorically valid) as the thing it seeks to criticize.
Why is exposing double standards and hypocrisies via a relevant example not a valid form of argumentation?
I believe social media behemoths have been biased in their moderation / censorship and they should make their mod logs public.
That's a specific criticism and suggestion. What is your specific criticism and suggestion?
Crying whataboutism is a cop-out, you only replied to my comparisons. I said much more, including questions trying to drill their point out of them.
