If spending billions is what is required to make their product not harm others, then that's what they should do. If that means the business doesn't break even, maybe there should be no Facebook.

That's fine. But if that's the criteria we use you have to shut down every newspaper, radio and TV station until they're harmless too. And that's just the start, wait until you hear what big oil and big tobacco and the defense industry have been up to. Is that really what you're asking for here?

  How in the hell could you think that scale of moderation needed for facebook is the same as newspapers, radio and TV stations?

    I didn't say it was. I said they need to be made "harmless", that's the standard the comment I replied to says we require.

        No worries, sorry if I was a bit blunt :)
