I don't think you can put the genie back in the bottle. If FB was forced to shut down tonight, there would be a new FB-clone in a few weeks gaining traction. It's fairly trivial for a bunch of coders to re-implement something that's already been done multiple times.
The only way out is some kind of a healthier platform that people move willingly to or maybe social media will just lose its interest at some point. It's hard to see that second option though since it gives people such strong emotional rewards.
