I despise Facebook and never use it, but I don’t buy this. All of the fringe nuts, hatemongers and free speech absolutists combined are a drop in their DAU bucket. Most people don’t care if anti-vaxxers, Nazis, or the extremes of civil libertarianism dislike this. Facebook doesn’t need to optimize for “please everyone” they need to spin PR in their favor, and they need to grow internationally. Stomping on someone like Alex Jones won’t even register outside of a handful of people in this country and maybe Canada.
