What makes Facebook problematic: it made possible to identify and target many who automatically believe a first thing they are told. Then they were targetted with the necessary myths and lies. Then others automatically believed it was true because hearsay from others was somehow proof. The real problem are so many who have no idea how to separate outright lies and myths from what is hard honest facts.
Actual problem is not Facebook. That was only a tool used to manipulate so many who are the problem.
How many so foolishly believed Saddam had WMDs only because hearsay said so? How many foolishly believed Saddam was a threat to the US mainland when he was not even a threat to countries adjacent to Iraq? Those were targets of this Facebook data collection malfeasance.
