For some extend I agree, but as we are in the ground level yet, there are more we need to focus than boycotting, (I know that is not what was said)
IMO worrying on such stuffs makes no scene at all.
 
Therefore, for the time being never mind what ever it is, just use the best media to reach the people, that is the most important thing !
Facebook event page is not THE event page I guess, use the other link instead.
BUT in the context here, facebook is the BEST media. So use it to reach the audience. 

My 2 cents !!!

Beg your pardon. I too found Facebook inappropriate. I know, it is a
different topic. Since you are already involved in Open Source, the
next step is to get informed about what the "big four" are doing,
from data mining, surveillance, breaking anti-competitive law to
political manipulation in big scale. (I dare not start those topics
here, that'll explode. There are other sources and pl. take your time.

Happy journey
