I work for a university making some of their websites ADA compliant. Simulating several different colorblindnesses is part of doing so. It always surprises me how even universities can be up-to-date with accessibility but sites as popular as Facebook or google can fail many of the checks we do.

It must have to do with the university receiving federal funds..

As a red/green colorblind the only thing that I hate when people mess up are charts, never had a problem with everything else

The irony about Facebook is that Marl Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind.

There's very little irony in that. Zuckerberg made Facebook for others to use; not for himself (OK, for himself, but not for himself to use it). This just underlines that further.
