lonelyislettl;dr: Zuckerberg is the ultimate monopolist (and no, I don't love Google either, with Chrome, etc) and he should have been in prison ages ago
Facebook overwrote people's public-facing email addresses
Facebook has increasingly changed the TOS (I think especially in 2015) to own your data for themselves. Ditto Instagram. It's hard to just leave (provided you don't get fucking banned by some arbitrary algorithm, that is) because that's where all your friends are (of course, they've replaced your friends' email addresses so now you can't leave)
They blatantly took over Whatsapp. In north america it doesn't mean much but in the rest of the world it does
Certainly Oculus. Those who got banned on FB (no support) have had to buy an Oculus to get unbanned. That's convenient!
