Replace "for just a few weeks" with "forever", and "reduces" with "gets rid of", and now you have an even better statement.

Permanently deleting all Facebook accounts and pages could save you even better.

Or even more better: just get rid or all social media that is associated with massive corporate giants (YouTube is still too useful to get rid of, but it dors still have lots of problems)
