> The deluge of anti-fb comments is the public finally having enough of their crap

This is the trap I'm talking about. Instead of "public" what you mean are "commenters" and "writers". Assuming that is an accurate representation of the public is folly. As has become clear so many times recently, and is especially visible in election results, the loud public and the general public are often not of the same mind.



The silent public is irrelevant, because they won't vote on whether facebook gets crushing fines, broken up, etc.

They'll just use whatever is easiest and tickles their fancy.
