A thought experiment regarding the "just quit" argument:

You're placed in a room with a person who is raving about homicidal fantasies. A gun is placed in the middle of the room. You don't think they should have access to this gun because of their statements. Is the solution to:

1) leave the room

2) try to get control of the gun before they do

Facebook is a tool, the same as that gun.

This is a bad thought experiment, because a solution could be to empty the gun and then to leave the room.

You'd have to gain control of the gun before them in order to empty it.
