The slowest of slow claps imaginable. It's better to do it 5 years too late than never, I guess. But Facebook doesn't get any pats on the back.
Facebook's modus operandi is:
1.) Allow algorithms to grow and foster toxic ideas and communities, because these create the most user engagement
2.) Extract as much ad revenue as possible from the user engagement
3.) Say 'Oooops, our bad. We're doing something about this now' when Facebook's role in proliferating toxic content gets politically untenable
4.) Keep the bags of money they generated from this content and get positive press
5.) Wait until people start paying attention to the next abhorrent thing Facebook helps propagate
