I guess it suggests Facebook is aware of the situation and can't claim ignorance.

Unfortunately in this case they do. All pleas mean the same, and the Vietnamese government controls more pleas.

The government basically has its supporters spam Facebook with requests to please take down problematic posts because they break Facebook's rules.

Apparently if enough people complain about a Facebook post, Facebook removes it automatically without checking that it actually violates Facebook's rules.

Some people just want everyone else to see them arguing with themselves.
