Or, for anyone that wants to use the version of adb they already have, or install it from trusted sources (for any supported OS https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb ) , instead of trusting a random binary from a stranger, here are the key commands from this "script"
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.katana
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.orca
And for anyone thats wants to understand what these are trying to do:
adb shell simply connects you to the shell CLI on the phone to run commands.
In the above, instead of calling adb multiple times, you could just run adb shell and then run the following commands at the android shell prompt:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.katana
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.orca
