This is a total exaggeration and just gives power to these companies. You can start here:

YOU voted for Facebook when you use it, by not installing a hosts file that blocks it and all advertisements. We do not need to use these platforms, and the less people that use them the less you will need to use it.

All we have to do is start making their profit fall and they will change. But it must be a strong and unified effort.
