I don't envy Fb for having to try and manage the cesspool that is human discourse. What a thankless lose-lose endeavour that must be.

There will always be people who want to attack those who are not part of their preferred race, gender, religion, or age. And they will always try and smear their opinions on others with all kinds of fancy justifications of outrage. And Fb will always have to somehow play referee.

Imagine having to have to do that day in and day out. No thanks.



Except they aren't playing referee for their user's benefit. It's about not offending advertising agencies and the brands those dollars represent. Nike doesn't want their ads next to whatever is considered hate speech at the time.
