And of course as long as you agree with FB's determination of who is a Nazi and who isn't, it's all fine and peachy?

If they overreach then we circle back, basic iterative process. I see nothing in their statement to indicate that they're going to overreach.

"Move fast and break things" doesn't quite work even in the SV bubble. Letting somebody as demonstrably immoral as Zuck do it in real life does not look like a good idea.
Better not let him iterate the overreach in the first place.

Not if 'not iterating' means letting literal Nazis have a soapbox in the tech equivalent of the town square.

Even assuming that this premise were true, FB, Google, or any other tech company deciding who is a "literal Nazi" is a terrible idea.
And of all the ways FB is making the world worse, "letting Nazis have a soapbox" is least of their problems.
