But Facebook can at least work towards it, even if you're pessimistic they'll solve it. That's what this blog post is about.

The very first sentence on the page is how they are stopping it. If their ambition is to work towards something vaguely better, then sure, seems reasonable.

I think focusing on the literal semantics of the first sentence rather than taking the blog post holistically is too harsh. Obviously it's still a problem; they are communicating that they're working on it.

I did look at the whole thing and assumed that they meant that doing those things added up to stopping it. However I can see your point of view as well.
