I no longer speak to several family members because they were radicalized thanks to information & groups that Facebook fed to them.

Is it FB’s fault that they fell for it? No. Is it FB’s fault for recommending them very obvious QAnon groups? Yes. Especially since Facebook was aware of the misinformation on its platform: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-documents-misinformati...

Or you can ask the victims of the genocide enabled by Facebook: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/technology/myanmar-facebo...

I’m glad it seemingly hasn’t effected you, but doesn’t mean others don’t feel that impact.
