Boycotting social media won't work, for at least two reasons. 1) The Saudi princes, etc. who "invest" in these companies don't care how much money they lose. They regard their "investment" as spending money to silence their opposition. 2) Without social media, we're back to hanging flyers on doorknobs, etc.

Twitter is a shareholder financed company and the Saudis and other major investors can’t keep the company operating without an adequate number of users on board. For certain, it’s not just the Saudi princes and other major investors who keep Twitter and Facebook and Google alive.

Cause and effect:

Twitter stock plunges 20% in wake of 1m user decline

(That was a real headline back in July).
