If people would stop using FB, rather than complaining about it, perhaps this would not be an issue?
Perhaps the answer is to make the concept of social networks no longer cool; or even make them undesirable. I think it's pretty clear they are not, anyways.
I use whatsapp, line, email and photo sharing services that allow me to easily share and communicate thoughts and media with exactly who I want. It's more personal, not addictive, creates better relationships, and helps me focus more on who I am rather than how others perceive me. And of course I don't have to use facebook and be a part of all its oft-criticized problems.
For hundreds of millions of people Facebook is the messaging system. There's postal, telephone, email, FB messaging. It's also the most used. I think you need to come up with solutions that assume it, or an equivalent, will continue to be a principle and primary means of communication for billions of people.
Just the myriad of other articles complaining about FB implicitly promoting hate by taking no responsibility for what is posted.
Facebook should not be tampering with and editorializing private communications or the public square, which they have become.
Would be it more OK if it was about Venezuelan pro-government mafia?
Well no, this article is about moral policing you do not agree with.
Moral policing? This article is about the opposite-- Facebook telling its "moral police" not to moderate posts from pro-government posters.
The article also features a claim that someone at Facebook guided pro-government posters in the government to use dog whistles to get around their filters. Hence changing "muslims" to "migrants."
Not much evidence is given for the claim, but it's there.
