That's flat out false. Other than using messenger to chat with family, I haven't had to use Facebook for anything for the 5 or so years since I stopped actively using it.

As for "everything passes through Google", that's just an optional login protocol and a shitload of blockable ads.

Also, Google isn't social media. You could argue that YouTube has social media aspects, but those aren't mandatory for internet participation either.
