I have been disturbed by the toxic effects caused by social media ( FB & Insta specifically) since watching The Social Dilemma, especially on young people. The emotion is now amplified by the latest Facebook Whistleblower interview on 60 minutes : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lx5VmAdZSI
What I am saddened by is how a handful of greedy people are harming millions of young people by making them feel bad about themselves. In spite of knowing that Instagram is triggering suicidal thoughts in teenage girls, the leadership chose to ignore because making it safe to people will hurt their revenue. My heart goes to those teenagers who feel insecure after watching the unrealistic insta influencers. I feel sad for those parents whose children are effected by the social media.
I am a person of action and I want to do my part to motivate the leadership at FB to make necessary changes. What can I do to send this message to the FB leaders?
One idea I have is to gather people who believe that FB has the responsibility to make its products safe to society. We can all decide a day and delete all FB products at once. If a significant people uninstall the apps, just for a single day, that can hurt the add revenue by a noticeable amount and may bring the attention of leaders?
Any other ideas on how to get the leadership at FB make their products safe to humanity?

Whistle-Blower Says Facebook ‘Chooses Profits Over Safety’
NYTimes
Facebook Whistleblower Frances Haugen: The 60 Minutes Interview
comments
But the leaders of FB, who have power to rearchitect the product and even the business model need to act now.
Instead of staying staying stuck in past and brood over the mistakes, we now have an opportunity to rebuild a better social media

We have blind to say gtfo to people like you
If we regulate fb there will be something else and regulating internet doesn't sound healthy
2) tell everyone you know to stop
using facebook
3) ban facebook from all of your devices (you didn’t think that stopping using it would stop it from monitoring you, did ya?) firewall level
4) tell facebook to go f themselves when they reach out
Btw Frances the whistleblower has a pretty bad reputation at FB and once mocked a interview candidate for speech disability. She’s not someone you should believe in.
