What about the hundreds of millions of people that voluntarily use Facebook every month in the EU?
Anything productive done on Meta platforms can be achieved through alternative, less socially destructive means.
E.G. The anti-vaccers, anti-climate change supporters that Facebook eagerly monetizes.
Maybe we can actually get vaccination numbers up in the EU if these idiots weren't given a soapbox by FB.
No it's not. Undemocratic would be a few prohibiting many from harming themselves. Even the majority prohibiting something would still be democratic. Democracy is not the same thing as libertarianism.
Wanting others to live healthier lives and saying that aloud has nothing to do with any form of government at all. I don't need to live in a dictatorship to talk about the dangers of alcohol, obesity, or facebook.
The vast majority of people use the services that a vocal few object to. We have already had a vote (implicitly) and we know where the will of the people lies. But there are people who believe the government should unilaterally overrule this because they believe they know what's best for them. That is absolutely undemocratic.

Which of course is a complete strawman and not at all what I said, or claimed was ocurring.
I am stuck on FB purely due to nasty network effects.
