End all advertising/tracking etc, and charge people $1 per month to use it, or $12 annual fee.
Shut them down.
Why not just remove the bad bits? Can you not see a single positive function of these products?
I don’t think the bad bits are inseparable from the rest of it at this point.
The less social media in the world the better
Sell it for the best offer and retire
This is the right answer.

Cast it into the fires of Mount Doom.
Hand them over to Elon Musk, so he can sink them
I would Elon the shit out of that thing until there’s only ashes.

Learned a new verb today
I think we need to make this a thing.
“I’ve got a stack of boxes in the garage I need to go full Elon on.”
“Yeah she was so pissed off she went Elon on his car.”

I think elonning refers to taking something that is functional and making bad decisions to run it into the ground.
Like, ‘she ignored all the maintenance advice and elonned her new car to death in 6 months’
I would spin off the events and community pages parts into a separate app and close Facebook. I don’t care what people I went to school with are doing or what their kid is up to.
I would also stop the massive data hoarding and go back to basics. Keep what’s necessary only.
Same! Only reason I still use it is for Community events, and neighbour groups. Super useful for that. Wish there was a way to do that without being peppered by ads and reels.
Marketplace is a Kijiji replica so it could die with little consequence IMO.
Put the source code up for Facebook, Instagram, Horizon Worlds, and Threads, and shut it down.
Transition WhatsApp into a federated app (I know much of the world is dependent on it.)
Sell Reality Labs.
Hand it over to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Just to see it crumble to pieces, I would have any means to report anything and block people/posts on fakebook removed whilst allowing any and all speech (including hate speech) to be spread just so that way there is a mass collapse in user base. Also, make the ads 100 times more intrusive.
As it crumbles, I’d just watch from atop my high horse and constantly blame everyone else who isn’t me or working for me for my problems and the failures of the company in a very top 1% fashion, on the platform of course.
When it finally crumbles and if the media asks what went wrong, I’ll just say I was following the google approach and blame them while using prepared 100% AI faked evidence to try and prove I was in contact with higher ups with google and getting advice from them, even down to faking actual calls.
Finally, assuming I have any money stored away from all of this, I’d use it to jumpstart my aggressive anti-communist agenda.
Sell Meta to Elon Musk. Either Twitter or Threads will be shut down, and I have a feeling it will be Threads. This has the bonus of not owning meta, to prevent assassins from targeting me. muskrat has bodyguards, I do not.
Do I also get the profits? This matters…
I would do what any sane person would do. Take their money and… “The system is working as intended and must be destroyed”
