If facebook is as harmful as some claim that it is, why would they wait 15 years after it started to make the claims? It's been the same company, same website with a few updates every now and then.
Facebook was never the healthiest way for someone to spend hours of their day, even back in 2008. So what is the point in waiting until 2021 to bring up what was obvious then. The reality is the user controls how much time they spend on Facebook, not Mark Zuckerburg or Facebook. If the user doesn't spend an unhealthy amount of time on facebook by using a little self control, then it's hard to see how facebook is inherently harmful. People once said the same thing about video games, and it works the same way, if the user spends hours of every day playing video games, of course they are creating health problems, both mental and physical. If the user has any self control, it's hard to see how video games are harming anybody.

When one of your co-workers is also your friend and they feel the need to tell your manager what you're posting on Facebook about work.
"Did you see what Emily posted on Facebook?! I saved it and sent it to our manager!" "Omg! You're such a Facebook nanny!"

A person who constantly posts music videos on facebook for the sole reason of having the feeling of being a real life DJ. They get a sense of pride from all of the "Likes" and comments they receive, which further fuels their delusion of being a DJ.

The practice of luring friends (Facebook Sharks), by throwing "chum" into the water. Chum usually consists of political or religious comments... far too tempting for a Shark to ignore. The water in this case would be status updates and walls.

Facebook Shark:
A fiercely opionated friend with a voracious appetite for debate. Someone who will pounce on loose comments and opinions and attack without mercy.

When someone knows a Facebook Shark is around... Facebook Chumming would be making a comment like:
"The Church isn't interested in money or power...."
