Deleting your Facebook account to fight their takeover of the public sphere is like taking your house off the grid to fight global warming. It neither addresses the problem nor shields you from its consequences

Well using social media to organize a social media boycott seems counterintuitive to me

Nobody said anything about boycott except that it's a stupid response. Organizing does not mean organizing boycotts.

Yes, you're allowed to do things that are stupid & unproductive, like the original "going off grid" analogy. Nobody's stopping you.

The point is that there are effective paths to change that aren't about some imaginary moral high ground about your own actions.
