And replace it with what? As much as I hate Facebook and ZuckerTURD, there is NO viable option out there at the moment for people my age--60 something. Trying to get all my family and friends, most of whom are my age or older to switch to another social connection app just WON'T happen, E V E R! It took forever to get them to even use Facebook in the first place, and many still don't, won't, don't know how to do much of anything with computers, tablets, smartphones. I've always been a techie nerd, but most of the people of my Babyboomer generation are not, by any stretch of the imagination. We learned to do calculus with slide rulers, not pocket calculators. We were already out of high school before the first affordable, prebuilt and assembled personal computers even hit the market. Most of my generation didn't even have personal email capability until the late 1990s or beyond. Millennials can certainly adapt much better the Babyboomers when it comes to high technology because they were born with a smartphone in one hand and a were tweeting in their momma's womb!
To completely abolish Facebook from all Apple devices would be a stupid act of extreme over kill, and it would overly inconvenience a heck of a lot people whose only connection with far away friends and family is, unfortunately, via Facebook . Banning all the rest of the Facebook data mining apps on the other hand is a smart idea IMO.
