Your very words: "off-the-beaten-path" describes the difference between FB and ... them. FB does seem to have a moderation system of sorts but it cannot possibly cope with the tsunami of incoming content. FB cannot be considered moderated in any meaningful way unless FB employs a significant proportion of the world's population. So, I do not agree with you that FB effectively moderate their forum/network. I don't care about other forums/networks - that's whataboutery. I assert that FB routinely allows: misogyny, misandry, racism and all other forms of hate speech to permeate their network without effective detection, identification and control of such. Call me out.

They have fractionally more moderation after a white nationalist committed the Christchurch massacre. FB remained silent for two weeks in the aftermath then contributed the below (which doesn’t seem to actually name any changes). There was a strongly negative reaction here on HN when ISPs started blocking access to the killer’s live stream. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/facebook-chief-operating-officer-sheryl-sandbergs-letter-to-new-zealand/UAPCQMTI645ICB734DKQW25FQQ/ https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/facebook-chief-operating...
