> what are billions of people doing on Facebook if it's harmful? I don't know.

This is extremely naive and akin to asking "why do people drink if it’s bad for you then??" Popular != healthy

[rafaelero]

Tbh, it's not clear that if we all stopped drinking the world would be better.

[gtowey]

Yeah, and maybe it would be better still if we all tried heroin!

[tbossanova]

Oh it definitely would

I think it's incredibly naive and arrogant to tell billions of people who use a product through their own free will "ackchyually its really bad and you should stop".

Almost everyone would give you a response similar to mine. They use it because its easy way to plan events since so many people are on it, or a small business can easily create a website, sell something or just kill some time on the can.

Give it a rest.

Would you say the same about cigarettes? Billions of people used to smoke it as well, it was (and still is) quite popular, is it arrogant and patronising to tell them: this is unhealthy for you, and affects society in harmful ways?
