True. But if you look across the broad landscape Facebook is doing more then fueling lifestyle jealousy. For example, in many countries political/social activists uses Facebook as their main communication medium.

Facebook is just another communication platform. I tend to think it like a phone where you can make really cheap phone calls. Now what the user will communicate is based on their socio/economic/political/life preference. And that surely includes a lots of meaningless noise.

And I think that's alright, because freedom is inherently chaotic.
