Not to defend FB for their relentless self-interest, but blaming them for negative outcomes in the world just sounds like the same chorus that blamed heavy metal and video games in the past. FB doesn't put bad thoughts in people's heads. It just gives people with bad thoughts a thing to look at. To use the same (possibly reductive) arguments, we did a lot of horrible things to each other long before the advent of the personal computer.
