I rendered my disapproval of Facebook by deleting it. That is the only action they care about.
They kept your shadow profile and are still tracking you, I guarantee it

#42Ms. Sandberg has overseen an aggressive lobbying campaign to combat Facebook’s critics, shift public anger toward rival companies and ward off damaging regulation. Facebook employed a Republican opposition-research firm to discredit activist protesters, in part by linking them to the liberal financier George Soros. It also tapped its business relationships, persuading a Jewish civil rights group to cast some criticis…
Coordinated, inauthentic behavior?

A few months ago Bloomberg published a story which I'm 99% sure was directed by Facebook PR, in-line with their strategy being reported on in this story [1][2].
Also can any mods tell me why all my comments are dead?

More than a quarter of Americans, and half of young people, report having deleted the flagship Facebook app from their phones in the wake of these scandals. ( https://www.recode.net/2018/9/5/17824116/delete-facebook-mar... ) The losses are offset in their topline numbers by growth in the developing world, but that's a lagging indicator, and those are much less lucrative user eyeballs. It's mitigated to the extent tho…

Re: Delay, Deny and Deflect: How Facebook’s Leaders Fought Through Crisis
#46Is there an actual crisis, outside the media narrative? Has Facebook seen an actual fall in monthly, weekly, or daily active users? To me, this story reads a lot like a media narrative that has very little to do with users's actual lives. And I've been reading variations on "Why Facebook sucks" and "Why Facebook is doomed" for a very long time. It's like the "Why this is the year of Linux on the desktop," but for med…
> Is there an actual crisis, outside the media narrative? Yes, the part where Facebook is paying people to spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and supporting SESTA.
Criticizing the organizations funded by George Soros has nothing to do with Judaism.

I don't know if THIS article was directed by Facebook related PR but the times reporting says there is other PR basically identical to this. So I think we can decisively label your conjecture as "credible"
