Shut them down.
Why not just remove the bad bits? Can you not see a single positive function of these products?
I don't think the bad bits are inseparable from the rest of it at this point.

Actually that’s a terrible idea. Look how abandonnés we feel with Reddit basically kicking everyone out. It hasn’t even shut down! I would instead work on removing the data gathering aspect of Meta, no more tracking, no more data selling, no more advertising. Then I would open source everything (maybe keep security parts private at first)
