This is blown out of proportion. The reason why people are leaving Facebook is not political at all. It also has nothing to do with decentralization, by the way.

Yes, people are leaving because of privacy, but not from advertisers but from their parents! People are still using whatsapp, because it's easy and crystal clear that when you send a message to a whatsapp group, only the people in the group will see it. And it's not that people can't do that in Facebook, it's just that perhaps the interface is not adequate for that.
