There's a bunch of responses here:
* It would be weird to suggest that Zuckerberg gets a free pass from the likes of DHH and Maciej Ceglowski.
* Zuckerberg's affiliation with Thiel is less voluntary than Graham and Altman's. Fb took on Thiel before the Trump election, and they're bound together by contract.
* Attacking Facebook for not taking a stand against Trump would probably be counterproductive, because it would play into the false Trump narrative that the media elites are conspiring against him when in reality it's simply human decency creating all his public adversaries.
