Facebook is bad because a chav pushed somebody off a bike.
Alternatively FB is bad because it has uncontrolled political influence on it's pages that are leading to genocide, and it does little/nothing to stop it.
FB ignores political manipulation
Planned spending for the Department of Health and Social Care in England is £140.4 billion in 2019/20. We are still woefully underfunded but Government manipulation of social media over £32M / £140,400M and clapping for the NHS managed to hide that.
What's that got to do with Facebook and social media? Thanks to Tom and sharing via social media, there is £32 million less they need to find.
My comment way up there was just that I don't think Facebook and social media is toxic, it is a reflection of society and for every bad news story, it can bring a lot of good too.
I used to like facebook but its getting more and more annoying so I started to use Instagram more but thats getting ridiculous too.
Seriously tempted to drop both but they are useful for keeping in touch with some far away friends and groups I'm part of. Just a shame that there seems to be next to no control given to users to filter out the crap that gets suggested to you etc.
I loathe Facebook in general and have deleted the app several times as it robs time.
But, I do a lot of business on there. I do security systems and most domestic clients locally get me through Facebook.
So begrudgingly I have to keep it.

Well that's provably untrue, but believe want you want to I guess.

Thanks to Tom and social media the public perception is that the £32 million must see the NHS right for years... when essentially he dropped a single grain of sand onto a huge beach where millions are being eroded everyday and along comes Boris and co. with one of Boris's bulldozers and starts shoving the lot into the sea.
Or £32M lasts almost exactly 2hrs out of 8760 hrs

No, it is changing society, not just reflecting it. And everyone denying that are in head in the sand mode... because it looks to them to be just a useful tool for keeping up with friends and finding out about events, or getting the attention of customers, or reading a nice story about a dog that befriended a traveller... or whatever... but that's why you use it (and in some cases have to use it)... that does not mean it is benign... it is not.

The money raised by Tom Moore is for NHS charities, and is mostly being spent on staff welfare projects not core NHS spending.
They let a man blow his head off with a shotgun during a livestream
Its worth having a think about who 'they' are, where they are and what they are doing all day. In the context of some lads knocking a guy of his bike - the 'they' who you are reporting to spend their day being subjected to reported child sex abuse and ISIS beheadings. They have to watch them, have seconds to make a decision and act, then watch another one. Day in day out, year in year out until they can look at a photo of a severed head and know how sharp the knife was and how much effort it took to cut it off.

Milgram’s electrocution experiment; they never “made” the general public give the chap in the chair what they thought was a deadly amount of volts, but almost all of them did it.
People are easily lead.
You probably know less about that experiment and its conclusions than you think you do
You really think Tom moore would have got to £32 odd million without it being shared on social media?
Or Bob Geldoff could have raised $125million without Ceefax?

Unless you can get that message across to 40 million people plus then you're telling the wrong person as Cummings has already got a great deal convinced "the NHS is rolling in it after that veteran bloke raised millions".
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen more of Captain Colonel Sir Tom on BBC breakfast and TV news/magazine shows than anywhere else.
Although SM did play a part, the whole thing was very much an organised campaign, not the free form ‘people coming together’ that a lot would have you believe.
