Block the stupid apps that your aunt likes, and then you'll only see her kitten photos.
Block the Daily Mail, and you'll never see your old school-friend's bigoted rants.
Block the group in which your cousin is always posting, and you'll think she is normal.
Yes yes, Zuck is a monster. But FB is quite pleasant if you curate it heavily.
