"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.
