Totally missing the main point of the article. FB is actively leading people down a dark path. Your mall or convention centre doesn’t so that, but FB’s attention-optimising algorithms do. FB must be very happy for people to bang on about free speech and hate speech because then they’re not looking at how FB actually works.

What I'm saying is bullies gonna bully. With or without Facebook's help. The only thing that keeps it in check is everyone else. Facebook is undoubtedly part of the problem, but I don't see Facebook serving ads "how to more effectively troll", "go on, doxx your friends", "hound someone to suicide".

No, that's a case of problem existing between keyboard and chair independent of what websites are visited. You can argue Facebook makes it worse, but then you can't realistically stop there. Every platform does that doesn't moderate to some $subgroup's liking.
