Really?
Facebook has contributed to ethnic cleansing in places where Facebook has such a dominant position that it is practically synonymous with the Internet. Facebook’s responses to this have been slow and lack oversight, with Facebook themselves saying they failed.

How on earth can you arrive at the conclusion that Apple are the “worst of the lot” because they won’t let you run the software you want and they are getting involved in movie/tv production? Those are quite literally first world problems compared with the harm Facebook does.

- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoIt's completely absurd to suggest that Apple should be moderating what users post to facebook.
