Scale is a problem created by these companies. They chose to eat the world in a winner take all game in order to maximize returns. That is not an excuse for ruining people's livelihoods without appeal. Facebook chose to create a world where certain types of commerce are done through Facebook and there are few other viable options.
Yes. These are hard problems. Maybe Facebook won't be able to make as big profits if they actually implement a just appeals process. That is Facebook's problem.
