This is a recurring theme there. A bunch of employees find something utterly disturbing, sound the alarm bells, and then nothing. Changing the platform in ways that affects the bottom line is a no-go. These problems won't even be surfaced to Zuckerberg and Sandberg - and will be promptly ignored if they are.
Facebook can be a better place. They changed the feed algo right after the 2020 U.S. election, and for a month even the insiders called it the "nice feed" (or something like that). But that didn't last long because calm users don't rage-click.
When these problems get out of control, you get the standard line of "we are giving people new ways to connect". The concern that some people "connect" to gather at the Capitol to hang the Vice President is rather secondary.
