I think your links prove my point: Facebook only cares about appeasing the powerful. Whether it is facilitating genocide or covering up genocide, they are the same. If it benefited Facebook, they would just as well deplatform people trying to expose a genocide in Myanmar.
And if the Turkish government tried organizing another genocide, I'm sure Facebook would platform it, and censor any opposition to it.
Why wouldn't they? They've already committed to deplatforming critics of the Erdoğan. Do you think that Facebook would take a principled stand and suddenly choose not to take orders from the Turkish government, and risk losing that market? I don't see that happening.
