I hate facebook but I still totally agree. And, I just don't use it, though I still maintain an account for messaging purposes. Like, in my perfect world, Facebook would go away because I find it kind of gross and think that it is generally negative. But, I don't think it cracks the top 100 of "Most Evil American Companies", it just attracts a ton of attention because of it's size and how pervasive it is. For example, a company like Pepsi, or Walmart, or many oil companies are much worse in how "evil" (ie intentionally do bad stuff to increase shareholder value). It's tough, and i do not like facebook, but yea they're villainy is overrated (but still, screw facebook).

FWIW, I’m also not what most would consider an active user although I do have an account. I’m usually more turned off by what people post than the platform itself. I just think the attacks are a bit too sensationalist.

Yes absolutely. I stopped using it because I felt weird and voyeuristic about knowing what people were up to that I hadn't seen in years, long before any of this controversy started.
