Until Facebook starts executing dissenters with howitzers or packs of dogs, I think we can do without this style of hyperbole popularized by the current President of the United States.
I’ve been tempted to build a website that features articles about journalists who use hyperbole like this to polarize and spin nasty narratives.<p>It’s damaging to our society and the virtual signaling is at an all time high. They go write an article like this, saying X is evil, but it’s so hypocritical.<p>How can journalists justify themselves when they do this?
So who thinks FB is a good corporate citizen and does not control speech on its site with arbitrary decisions based on "because that's how we see it" policies?
Coca-Cola, the company that intimidates, kidnaps, tortures and murders union leaders in South America. The company that over-exploits and destroys natural resources in India. The company that routinely does business with dictators and avoids taxes and sanctions.<p>That's the virtuous company putting pressure on Facebook to tackle "hate speech" during election year in the US. i.e. stop opponents of the far-left.
