Short version: an agency of the German government has determine that
Facebook combines too
much private data into one database, causing unfair competition practices.
Short, short version: Facebook is a bunch of snoops.

Me too.
But how do I contact people who believe that Face book is the
inter webs?

Find out their snailmail address and write them a letter by USPS?

I just checked, the last 100 message posted here go back to
October 2015.
So, how do I contact people who think that Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram or the regional Website is the sum total of the interwebs?

Convert them to Mastodon? - - - - Well, you could try. ;-)

Which merely adds one more layer of complexity. I got drafted to
be the Canton's Seneschal. To change the business meeting(due to an >anticipated attack of the Frost Giant) I log into the Nikolai Account,
and check Canton email, the canton facebook page, and the SCA.org
site. Log out of that and into this to post to the Interwebs. Then
call a couple people to handle the phone tree.
Adding Mastodon to this merely means, Yet Another Bunch who
believe that social media is the Internet. Should I include Twitter, >Pinterst, Punch, and some cool site you've never heard of?
Facebook would hate this
and keep tweaking its API to break it, so _maintenance_ would basically
be an _arms_race_. :-(
It would make the world better, but Facebook wouldn't want it to.
(Because Facebook serves not its users, but its advertisers, of course,
and this would not reliably show Facebook's ads.)

Which is one of the two main reasons I will not use FB, and will continue to urge people
to stop using it.
Folks, please, don't use FB. And balls to those who won't leave it.

Good.
Now, if we could just get Kingdom and Barony to stop using it.
I think it's well into the time for there to be a coordinator/aggregator layer that sits atop of email / Usenet / social media / chat / dm / etc.
and presents these in a user's preferred abstraction (to the extent that
each can be bent or folded to fit said preference), with an address book
that tracks each correspondent's preferred medium. So if I want to send
a message to Miles Singer, my address book would contain the information
that Miles prefers Twitter DMs, and convey my message to him that way without my having to remember that or go to Twitter directly. And when
I wanted to send a message to Tristan Hunter, it would get delivered via Facebook, per his entry in my address book. But since I personally
prefer email, from my end it would look very much like sending email.

Well, you're the Seneschal of Bearwood, so at least you can get the canton to stop using
it. };-)
