this reminds me of those people who sift through Google search results to try to find some controversial query/result pair. they then go on to reveal their mental model of Google's search model is "humans with an agenda curate each page." beyond the point about how "hypocracy" is not the right term here, it's also just a hard problem, and an example of a single false positive doesn't provide much evidence about the state of Facebook's filtering algorithms. also to be fair I can empathize with the hesitancy of Facebook to wade into this. the slippery slope from filtering out "fake erectile dysfunction ads" to "things lots of people disagree with" I think is very real and very scary.
