This makes me want to stay far, far away from FAANG.

What is Facebook's moral responsibility here? Hell if I know. It's just too big. Too much verbal ability, not enough cohesion.

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.
