From a practical point of view, I have no idea how to wean myself off the platform, but I do know that, as with all addictions, acknowledgement is the first step to recovery. I was always hesitant to share pictures of my kids online and that reluctance has now hardened to a rule. And understanding that Facebook is not a neutral platform but a delivery system for corporate and political interests surely goes some way towards changing one’s relationship with it and becoming more sophisticated consumers of a potentially damaging product.
