Facebook’s algorithm deliberately amplified this speech to increase profit. I’d say that counts as a kind of editorial discretion which then comes with a moral responsibility for the consequences of that editorialising.
If Facebook wants to be the “town square” of the digital age it should be nationalised and the algorithm should be removed.
What is Facebook's moral responsibility here? Hell if I know. It's just too big. Too much verbal ability, not enough cohesion.
