"Your account has been permanently disabled for not following the Facebook Community Standards." One problem that is less-discussed is that Facebook is absolutely not a community. It's a collection of millions of communities, and even then just one medium for them, which all have different norms, standards, goals, beliefs, and types of people. Facebook's position is inherently unwinnable because they will be hated regardless of how they attempt to moderate their platform. It is all too easy for us to say 'just do better moderation' without realizing how intractable that problem is, due to 1) differing communities/people, and 2) scales in the billions of users (for example, imagine one employee is tasked with monitoring content from 10,000 people. If you needed to moderate 2 billion people, you would need 2B/10K = 200,000 full-time employees just for moderation. Hiring enough employees is also not enough, as they need to be consistent with each other as well). This isn't intended to be a defense of Facebook, but rather just another point demonstrating that centralized platforms for all of humanity are not the right solution for how we should communicate.
