You are trying to suggest that Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t have a detailed knowledge and control over core Meta features, nor knowledge of the societal damage they can do?

No, I am not. You are employing a logical fallacy known as "Denying the antecedent". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denying_the_antecedent
My casual reading of the thread says you are falling for a variance of the fallacy

Someone isn’t knowledgeable and responsible for every detail of every feature means they are responsible and knowledgeable for none

> Placing so much blame on individuals like Zuck and Sandberg is already a stretch.

This clearly implies that sime blame is warranted.

Not intentionally if so - I must be missing something more subtle in your comment.
I read it exactly as you did.

Not sure how your response can be framed as 'Denying the antecedent'. :-/
