Time to cancel Twitter, Facebook and Reddit then.

Oh but they only incite violence against the right groups. All good then. Great system.

Is it hard living on the wrong side of Popper's paradox?

Not knowingly. That’s the difference. Facebook had zero hesitation to remove that stuff once they knew about it.

Facebook acknowledges that it is impossible to police their system because it is so large.

Ergo, the supposed intention is probably manifestly meaningless.

For example, you can point to the use of Facebook as a tool of genocide in Myanmar. Facebook will not, and probably cannot do anything about that beyond removing their service.
