      I'll admit--#Facebook's got me too. I like it. It helps me stay in touch, promote my articles, and share pictures of my kid with family. 4/x

      People worry about government surveillance. But at least government's somewhat responsive to citizens. #Facebook only cares about profit 6/x

      The 2016 election should be a wake up call. #Facebook is the greatest method of disseminating propaganda in history. And they don't care 7/x

      #Facebook helped people spread fake news. The actually false kind, not the "I don't like what the truth means for me" kind. 8/x

      #Facebook helped Russian intelligence microtarget American voters. $100,000 is all it took for Russian propagandists to reach millions. 9/x

      If you're happy with the election results or not, you should be concerned with how easy it was to manipulate American voters. #Facebook 10/x

      I'm not even sure if #Facebook understands exactly what it's doing. There's money to be made, and engineering feats to be achieved. 13/x

      And let's be honest: people (me included) aren't going to stop using #Facebook. They're up to 2 billion users and not stopping there. 14/x

          Maybe we should regulate #Facebook like a utility? It has more communication than phone companies, controls more info than broadcast TV 15/x

          I don't really know what we should do about #Facebook. But it's an essential question for democracy and freedom in the 21st century. (END)

          Switching costs. How many friends and family do you keep in touch with in FB? It would be difficult to build that list on a new platform.

          I quit Facebook 6 months ago and never been happier. People want to leave but can't. They want to feel like they have lots of friends.
