In the interest of his country, Mark Zuckerberg should shut down Facebook until after the election. We lived without it before and we can survive a few months without it. So might our democracy. #FacebookTakeABreak

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.

It's still misguided and honestly bizarre. You're suggesting he do something that in YOUR OPINION is good for the country. But it isn't. You're calling for self censorship, job loss, loss of community, etc. You are wealthy and famous and seem to think your know best. So does he.

You also just described mainstream media. We need to hear from each and one another. Mute network news instead. 🤦‍♀️

It’s never good to shut down a mode of communication. Ever. Not in a free country, anyway. You can’t be serious.

It is the same thing...

I always think you’re wrong, but then I stop and think about what you’re saying. If this was Zuckerbergs decision, it wouldn’t be his worst.

Maybe twitter too! That way everyone can take a break and have a clear head. Good idea

We should be cautious in imposing our own moral judgement onto others. Plus Facebook is nowhere near the roots of the problems of today.
