And now they'll use it as an excuse to require an ID check to access social media

They're literally the ones lobbying for IDs on the OS level. https://byteiota.com/metas-2b-lobbying-age-verification-laws-exposed/

In the days of Friendster and Myspace, I created a page on one of the other sites, whose name I can no longer remember. Then Facebook dominated and I just didn't want to go through the effort again to create a new one.
Then Facebook started getting creepy. I remember for a while it had the social games (I only remember Cow Clicker by Ian Bogost, which was a parody of other social mutual-clicking games.
At other times there were tie-ins to other franchises. Coupons you could only get through your Facebook account. Since I wasn't allowed to see anyone's pages without an account of my own, I was never enticed to track my friends that way.
Eventually, Facebook went more and more full evil, and I just watched from afar.
