I disagree. Given the criticisms Stamos has leveled in this memo against the executive team, the quote of the headline seems very apt to me.
The memo has Stamos making points very critical of the approach of the Facebook executives (the "we") to these issues over the past several years. Much of the word count of the memo was spent on "spin" / "setting the record straight", but that is also understandable given the context, and the compensation Stamos still likely has on the table.
Perhaps Facebook _does_ need to take a side (not promoting the posts of users directly advocating violence, not selling data to 3rd parties, not employing UI 'dark patterns' to encourage users to unconsciously share private information, etc.).
