I find that argument unconvincing. If there were no ads, would have people starve to death because they would not be able to find restaurants?

Also, local businesses can da a lot to turn heads without having a giant IT system spying on the people.

Sure, FB provides value to its users but when they don’t provide the service, they don’t provide it for everyone.

Local businesses spending on better signs and better service could be actually much better for the local community as the resources remain local and they get better service instead of sending their money to FB in exchange for reach shortcut.
