Facebook was always fake for many reasons, mostly for not telling what they really are: one big spying machine. But now it seems they don't really know what they are themselves. They are not a news site with an editorial board, but a simple snooping sharing site. Trying to take the role of societies pillar would just increase the on-site censorship.
I will bet people stays anyway. The ones that care have left a long time ago.
Thanks for the feedback. A new market-place is required, coughSteemitcough. Then people have an alternative for their attentional desires. The bandwagon effect works for popularity and things that die. Twitter is dying, Facebook will follow suite, as a new popular platform emerges: Steemit. As more people join Steemit, more people will want to follow. It cascades. Then it cascades for FB, like it did for MySpace.

You have the option to use tor, protonmail or tutanota instead of regular gmail,yahoo or hotmail accounts and you also have the option to not associate your phone number so facebook will not have access to your phone's data or whatsapp account data. I never associate it precisely to avoid what you say, period.

Yes, because I lately have tried to promote my webcomic, I considered to make an anonymous account on twitter and facebook with the remedies you mention: Tor, protonmail etc. But I kind of gave up. I thrive on open decentralised networks like this and Diaspora, where the users decide what they get to see.
But right now Facebook is where it all happens so I have been dependent on people sharing it there anyway. In the end I guess that because of my hatred towards centralised, censored media I stand in the way of myself. But nothing new there :)
