Mostly I'm irritated by replacing the bazaar of the free and funky Internet circa 1994-200x with a corporate cathedral that is Facebook. I never really 'got' the point of Twitter, when anyone could operate a web server or pass messages back and forth between peers on TCP/IP. My last straw was when it became clear that Facebook was going to push past all bounds of decency and reasonable expectations of privacy with things like automated facial recognition scanning and unethical psychological experiments on users, whom ethical science suggests are left existentially unhappy by the experience of using FB.

Both services provide alluring targets for state-level actor central warrantless wiretapping and social manipulation. They're engines now for probable-cause-free local police extralegal fishing trips. Now we hear about kids suspended for what they 'like' online. It's degrading madness and the slow-bleed death of privacy, liberties, and freedoms. I won't endorse nor participate...
