> If Facebook suddenly disappeared from the Internet tomorrow, life would go on.
Yes, if FB disappeared overnight, we'd all wake up to happier world and life would go on.
But that's not the scenario. The scenario is that suddenly your FB account disappears overnight while the rest of the world, all the groups you need to interact with, continue to exist only in FB. That's a terrible dystopia for the victim.
Personally I'm lucky no group I need to deal with uses FB much or at all. But I do know there are groups for whom continued FB access is vital. It shouldn't be so and/or FB should be regulated to force them to allow access to anyone who needs it. Allowing a private company to shut someone out of society is morally incorrect.
