I don't extend personal sympathy to people worth over even a few million dollars -- if they don't like their jobs they can just retire -- but, in the abstract, the social media firms have bitten off far more than they can chew.
The kinds of problems social media has exposed are problems that society isn't able to deal with and the people who were just looking for a quick buck, without needing to do much work, are caught in the middle of it. Corporate structures were never intended to regulate the speech of billions of people in thousands of legal jurisdictions, but that's exactly the situation Facebook is now in.
I don't know if there is a good solution to the problems of social media short of simply outlawing it.
