Giant monopolies that control most of it for most users?

Who forced you to use a single site on the web? Monopolies of oil, phone lines, food ... Those are troubling.

What is Facebook a monopoly of? Attention? Digital family scrapbooks?

If they're such a monopoly why is it ridiculously easy to quit it with absolutely no consequences?

Why are you giving these companies powers they don't actually possess? Their only value to anyone is their Network effects. There are plenty of alternatives to Facebook and Twitter and Google and (thanks, Internet!) they're really easy to find and use.
