No, it wouldn't be great.

The article is about not letting you see it, through curation. The people who do still see it, are the people who like it. They are the people we most need to prevent from seeing it.

You not knowing something is on there doesn't change that.

Facebook has been clearly implicated in two genocides so far.

The Amnesty International report "A Death Sentence For My Father" details how an Ethiopian doctor who didn't even have a Facebook account was murdered directly because of incitement on that platform.
