It's a funny dynamic; the left is having an all hands freak out over FB (who I intensely dislike also) because right wing dorks like Ben Shapiro are the most frequently shared memes on their platform. Basically because FB is a bunch of old people, and old people like right wing memes and Ben Shapiro.

Zuck's a smart guy, and there are other smart people working there; I'm sure they realize this, but they can't actually say it to the AOCs of the world for fear of freaking out shareholders and advertisers.

Regardless of the political motivations that precluded all this controversy, I'm happy with the end-result - someone should be holding Zuck's feet to the fire. It's been too long that Zuck's got to play in the playground without supervision.
