## What Jamie wrote

I left Facebook years ago, and contrary to what some may believe it is totally fine. In fact, it’s better. I’m not part of the rage machine pretending to be something good.

> Facebook is no different. You might be one person with just one account, but you are not powerless. Being a part of Mark Zuckerberg’s algorithmic empire is a choice. If you believe that Facebook is causing long-term damage to our society, and you don’t agree with their values or their approach to doing business, you can choose to leave.

It matters. I talk to so many people who say they don't agree with Facebooks actions but they can’t leave. Yes you can. In fact, you are the answer. As long as you fail to take action, you are helping continue the harm.
