By the way, why would people stop using Facebook and YouTube and Google? I know why you or I would, but why would billions of teenagers and moms with their friends and baby and Kardashian photos, why would they stop?
They would stop using it because they perceive its value as a useful tool is fast diminishing. When they were a neutral forum, they were valuable. As people begin to understand blocking and shadowbanning, they find it less useful. Pure expectancy Theory. If you cannot count on a result you will not use it. When you begin to believe that your Tweet or Facebook post just goes out into the ozone and nobody sees it, and that fact is hidden from you, you will not use it much longer. People have to believe that there is a correlation between their efforts and an outcome that they want. If the outcome I want is to communicate a political message, and I cannot determine whether that outcome happens, and worse, its deliberately frustrated and hidden from me, I’ll walk away as will millions of others.
Facebook is already a Dead Man Walking.
Why are you defending Facebook Google and Twitter so hard? That seems a little odd.
