I'm not totally convinced by this argument.
What comes to my mind is the fact that the number of active users have a direct 
impact on the monetization of the platform and even when you are a disident 
you're still inside their ecosystem and therefore are targetable and profitable.
Also, if I understand well, they are in total control of the posts and I think 
that there's no guarantee that your ideas are being displayed in other people's 
wall.

I personally took a lot more effort into campaining against in real life since 
I deleted my account and managed to convince at least other few people :)

Cheers,
