The argument isn't, "so I don't have to change my behaviors."
The argument is, OTHER people are too weak to change their behaviors, so we need to have the government regulate THEIR behavior. (The greater good.)
It's bad enough to be lazy and want someone else to fix your problems. It's almost worse to decide you know what other people's problems are, and decide what needs to happen for them. (Or phrased differently... What needs to happen to them.)
No - since this is a social network this isn't all about personal responsibility. People hate-use facebook because everyone hate-uses facebook. There is no sane alternative because everyone needs to hate-use the same platform to be on it with everyone else.
I think it is plausible that a different kind of social media could be created that does not involve hate (at least not in the same quantities), that some people would find to be preferable to the current toxic ones everyone is one. It wouldn't happen overnight, but if no one ever builds anything, we may be stuck on these forever, or until we tear society part.
