Air is a necessity, Facebook is not. I don't use Facebook and personally don't want my tax dollars spent overseeing a non-essential service. I'd rather send our tax dollars towards environmental pollution and areas that actually affect us all much more seriously.
The point wasn't that Facebook is a necessity. It's that Facebook is unavoidable.
Unfortunately, whether you created a profile or not, you can't just "not use Facebook" with their whole shadow profiles.
Sure, they aren't (currently) pumping waste into the environment. I'm not saying those things aren't important, but I do think we're going to look back 10 years from now and wonder how we let Facebook even get this bad.
