Years of horrific headlines have not led Facebook to make consistent progress in addressing its problems. But maybe we should all ask ourselves radical questions about the horrors of Facebook: Is a better Facebook a realistic option, or is the solution a smaller Facebook? It is also in those places where Facebook has done the most harm and where the company and the world have paid the least attention. It is hard to imagine Facebook retreating from the world by choice, but doing so would not be a catastrophic financial hit for the company. But it is also hard to watch Facebook be used as a tool for ethnic violence and authoritarian abuse and accept that this is a defensible downside to connecting the world.
