Facebook – the social media platform du jour for many, the one that helped bring us Trump, drove Brexit, live streamed Christchurch’s Mosque killings, the one that helped fuelled an attempted insurrection in Washington and brought traditional media to its knees while feeding us countless cat videos and so much more – is on the downward slope.
