This argument is basically “I don’t need privacy because I have nothing to hide”
Not at all, I would very much like to protect personal privacy rights. I'm saying a small number of businesses have convinced the general public to invest a massive amount of time, money, and attention in virtual spaces. These organizations intrude in our lives because we use their platforms. We need to quit using their platforms.

I don't want strangers looking at the content I post to my friends. Full stop.
Snowden made it pretty clear that they already are.
Fixed that. Maybe some nefarious three-letter agency found another way, maybe not. Even if they did, they have a powerful incentive never to let it be known. And it's still almost entirely algorithmic.
On the other hand, human moderators are inherently going to be entry-level individuals in a call center in a low-wage country. These are not the same things.
How would you feel about human moderation of your email?
I think a good first compromise for policy would be to require all platforms to have a three strike system with required explanations and obligatory links to the concrete content in question. The current situation is not acceptable for users.
Isn’t it though? Almost all do accept it, and if you raise it with them, they ask you why you’re bothering.

Sorry, I was trying to characterize the sort of argument given: "Just don't use it" only works if the people you want to interact with are available some other way in a nearly equivalent fashion: if one's friend group is mostly on Facebook, you sort of have to pick between using FB and missing out on a certain set of social interactions.
