>What is happening now is basically vindictive hatred for Facebook from the tens of millions who feel wronged and cheated by electoral results that they lost fair and square.
I'd say that a lot of the articles are driven by the news medias hatred of facebook.
It used to be that facebook would drive upto 80% of the traffic on some news sites from shared articles between 2012-2017. Then when they started to tweak the news feed a lot of news sites found their traffic dying.
There are definite reasons to hate facebook, but news sites hate them for controlling their very existence, and lately pushing them into irrelevance.
Between facebook and google the views news sites receive from other sources are/were a rounding error, before we even start talking about advertising.
That everyone is attacking facebook now is good. From a purely tactical point of view killing it or strangling it with so much regulation they need to ask you 5 times if they can access your data for every picture you upload will be a huge net positive for humanity. I only wish the same happens to google asap.
