Hence "shadier", violence is not shady, it's pretty in your face, it's shady I'm forced to use an app not by choice but just because such apps have captured enough of the market that there is absolutely no way for a competitor to be a suitable replacement.

Sure, I have the choice to simply lose contact with 50% of my family if I would like to stand up to my principles and cut Meta from my life.

Is that really a choice?
