It's a matter of how you define "control" and "Jews", I suppose. "Jews" as in "all jewish people"? Obviously not. "Control" as in "total control over all media companies" also obviously not.
Individual Jews in powerful positions of plenty of powerful companies at disproportionate rates? Probably yes, at least for the US, less so in Europe for obvious reasons.
In the end, I guess Facebook should simply outlaw all blanket statements. None of them are true, all of them are oversimplifying complex issues and are, if believed, harmful. But then again, what would remain if they did so?
