I definitely agree with your point that Facebook is not a singular problematic entity and not even in a singular problematic industry, it's just the one this thread is about.

> Or we could just let people (and by extension advertisers) decide for themselves.

That's the idea of shunning though. People can make their own decisions to work wherever they please, and in response to these choices other people can likewise decide to disassociate with them.




Fair enough, and I accept the shunning as a legitimate action :)

I’m also against the action taken against the extension developer, both in principle and as someone who unfollowed everyone, one at a time.

p.s. next time you reply to a FB employee please begin your message with un-shun and end it with re-shun


\begin{un-shun}

\end{un-shun}

Immoral and unethical practice, unfortunately a lot of people here today fail to realize that, just because they allegedly are "in the right" camp or have the "right politics", it doesn't mean they are the right to behave like garbage toward others.
