Right, Facebook is not a court, police force, or anything else with legal jurisdiction. Assuming the problem is that Trump is issuing an orders to the military that are illegal, that's not a problem that Facebook can police. The President can likely find another means of issuing illegal military orders that bypasses Facebook.

Why not? They sure do an amazing job making sure you don't see any female nipples.

Female nipples = Block at all costs and ban users

Incite violence = We're powerless. We won't do anything.

Except that there are laws against showing nipples to minors. There is no law about showing an (even unlawful) presidential order to the public.
Reddit and numerous other sites have no issue displaying nipples (and more) with nothing more than a “are you over 18” modal. If any of those sites start running afoul of law enforcement you might have a point.
