I have a Facebook account, but I would happily see it and its various off-shoots shut down.

This is not what Tim Berners-Lee had in mind when he invented the world wide web.

This electronic common has been commandeered by Silicon Valley moguls, who have made billions from it.

The content can harm individuals (eg. eating disorders and suicide), groups (eg. anti-semitism and other hate content), the truth (eg. the bonkers antivaxxers) and social values (eg. democracy, by intervention in elections).

 

The harm is causes greatly outweighs its usefulness. 

Close it down, say I.
