It really doesn’t make sense to me that the argument is basically this:

“The x military shared anti-y Facebook posts, then caused a genocide of the y people.”

And Facebook is at fault?

Do we really expect Facebook to police speech at that level, or should we not place the blame with the military?

Those posts came from .0000066% of Facebook’s users. If you’re Facebook how do you effectively police that?

You really don’t see any difference there?
Children and militaries will act predictably. How Facebook reacts is the variable under question.
