"1. You cannot call it bad just because of content." You don't get to dictate my reasons for liking or not liking a thing. If I want to dislike it because of content, that's my privilege. Maybe I think FB's bad content is more annoying than CP's bad content. Maybe I'm tired of clueless political rants interspersed with photos of someone's dinner. Maybe I just like my privacy. Either way, that's my decision. Why are you so eager to de-legitimize and downplay other people's reasons for disliking Facebook? It sounds like you asked this question to start an argument, not because you actually wanted to learn something.
