Again, it is not up to Facebook to serve the needs of the government. It’s why transparency is so critical for the platform, and they are transparent that they value American ideals.. which no surprise include skepticism against government.
They don’t attempt to solve authoritarianism in Turkey, but they do not allow authoritarian comments which lead to harm.
There are obvious issues with Facebook, but this seems pretty cut and clear. Turkey is free to ban Facebook but what kind of values do you want to spread to the world?

They should federate the service and have moderators for every market who know local laws and mores. One issue is everyone is in the global user bucket, rather than having jurisdictional buckets (the way Wikipedia does).
