Wouldn't Facebook know these things?
Under what circumstances do we have a right to confront our accusers?

The whole point of an anonymous complaint system is to allow accusers who might be intimidated by the idea of confronting you to have a way to get their concerns met.
Which means that anyone who has created an anonymous complaint system has traded off your right to confront an accuser with the accuser's right to not be intimidated and decided in favor of the accuser.
However there is usually another counterbalance, such as having the accusation silently disappear unless a neutral third party thinks that there is a point to the accusation.
I am quite sure that Texas billionaire Lacy Harber does not know her.
I am also quite sure that the person who shared the post she replied to about his hunting an endangered black rhino did know her.
It would also be a safe bet that some friends of friends who saw that comment did not know her.
I would say that she "directed that comment to" the second. It is impossible to tell who reported her, or what they thought.
