Nicholson Baker wrote a novel envisioning the assassination of G.W. Bush. I don't know that it went anywhere, but as far as I know he has never been bothered by the law.

Their policies apply to Russian soldiers in Ukraine, not regular citizens

I'm sure that Facebook will be checking the persons targeted on their platform for registration in the Russian army but do you suggest that you are alright for Facebook to facilitate the the mentioned actions as long as they restrict it to soldiers?

I can't speak about the first part (I assume posts of this nature aren't really going to mention individual soldiers by name), but yes I do think it's okay for Facebook to facilitate violence when it is a clear case of self defense. I think organized guerilla warfare against a powerful invading army is a perfect use case for a neighborhood social network.

They didn't answer. This is a really tough one for them I see
Is it O.K. for Facebook to allow call for violence against Americans and the British? Should Facebook provide secure channel for the organisation of the assassination of T. Blair?
Zuckerberg moved by the struggle of the Palestinians, starts allowing Hamas to organize attacks through E2E encrypted channel on Israeli soldiers and politicians. Maybe when he is on it, should also provide them with historical location data of the person of interest? Is that alright?
