I understand the sentiment but this is a bad idea. Millions of legitimate business people make their living in whole or in part through advertising on Facebook.

I hear that. Mark Zuckerberg knows how he could stop allowing Facebook to be used for totally nefarious purposes. He could do it if he wanted to.

Horrible idea. Like it or not it’s a system of communication. We are not China. We are not Iran.

I didn’t say the government should shut it down. I suggested that a man who makes billions of dollars from a completely amoral business model with undue influence on our elections might consider doing something good for his country.
