The lesson for individuals is, as I see it, not to boycott everything. The answer is to use your thinking, reading and intuitive skills, like a human being, instead of like a typical Trump follower. Don't be swept away by emotions and cling to ideologies. Don't believe everything you read; check it out. Compare to known data.
We are stuck with someone owning media outlets, which means they manipulate you to get more business from you; unless we want the government owning them. Not a much better prospect. I'm glad some pressure has been put on facebook to be a gatekeeper, like reputable news companies used to be. Facebook is not that, but at least it's something-- although too late to avoid irreparable harm to the people and the planet they depend on.
