Yes. We need a hell of a lot less destructive criticism that leads to war.

That is why I'm anti-Facebook. Remember the role they played in the Myanmar genocide?

I'm guessing this one. Although facebook didn't invite this violence directly, they were the primary tool of propaganda. Now I'm not saying it's easy to solve this problem but facebook seems to be actively overlooking these things as it has happened repeatedly.
