I perceive FOMO to be a chance to waste time. I miss-out on a billion things per day, I am not reading 10k new articles per day, not playing a million games per day, not eating hundreds of cuisines per day, etc. so I can focus on the 5 articles, and 5 songs, and 3 lunches that I choose to.
If you call that FOMO you are more desperate than you imagine (or probably cannot even imagine) and you will always be chasing something that cannot be caught.
Equality is not achieved by fighting FOMO, but by fighting inequality. Solution (imho) is not to battle 24/7/365, but by picking battles you can win. Yea a government can win far more battles should they want to, and your battle it to be poking them to do so.. but FOMO is irrelevant to the story, just a thing that adds to confusion and, eventually, inaction.
