I am saying you shouldn't boycott facebook to solve the issue with election mangling and profiling, if you want that you need to ask your representative to regulate that, otherwise while you leave, the people most subject to misinformation are still there to be fooled and the society as a whole wouldn't benefit.
But of course if you don't want facebook to make money(1), or it doesn't respect your ethical vision, then you're free to leave, knowing that it doesn't solve the problem
(1) the whole web is still full of like buttons, so you're making them money anyway
I have this kind of conversation with vegans I know most of the time, they boycott meat industry, without triggering any sort of regulation, to switch to agro products, then when put in front of agricultural companies employing clandestine labour without rights and contracts, they dodge it, as you can't boycott all food and eat rocks, boycotting is useless, regulations are king
