The New York Times printed articles and columns that were used as fact and evidence for the invasion of Iraq in the early 2000s. Should we cancel the New York Times? We live in a world of imperfect systems built by imperfect people.
Everyone sitting in their glass houses just throwing stones without viewing things from the other side. Do I condemn genocide, of course. Most people condemn genocide. Yet I'm not going to blame Facebook for building a platform for _people_ and then turn around and blame Facebook when _people_ use the platform for nefarious purposes.
Something about cake and eating it too. Even removing Facebook from the equation, the internet itself is ultimately responsible for genocide because it allows people to connect easier than ever before. Are you going to blame the very concept of the internet? Because if you're so up in arms about Facebook, you should be rallying for the destruction of the internet as well. Good riddance, have some perspective.
