Cigarette smoking causes about 480,000 deaths per year in the US alone. Does Facebook have a body count?

Yes, when you consider the people killed by its spreading of fake news, anti vax etc. For example, https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/pranavdixit/whatsapp-de....

However that being said, if I got an opportunity to work at FB, I would.

Is the best defense for Facebook that they don't have a body count?

RIAA/MPAA does not have a body count. Patent trolls do not have a body count. Ballmer's Microsoft did not have a body count.

"Not having a body count" is quite a low bar for a moral compass, don't you think?

Facebook almost certainly has a body count!
