FB did not "play into their hands". Facebook made a sane decision that most corporations are incapable of making. You don't want to ban Ukrainians for talking about killing Russian soldiers, it should be encouraged.
- pessimizer 5y agoWould you want to ban Afghans from talking about killing American soldiers?
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 5y agoAfghans in Afghanistan? No.
- vkou 5y agoYou wouldn't, but Facebook would. And that's fine, they are allowed to make that decision.

- yucky 5y agoCounterpoint - encouraging the average Ukrainian to "kill Russian soldiers" puts their lives at risk as well since the Russian soldiers are better armed. And lets say they get geeked up and start firing into the street form an apartment building, to which the Russians respond by launching a missile into and killing others who weren't trying to engage the soldiers. The sane response would be to consistently call for non-violent posts only on the platform.
- mrits 5y agoYou certainly fall into the category of good men that do nothing. The rest of us will fight to preserve the freedoms we have and those of others.
- yucky 5y agoCorrection, I fall into the category of people who think the US probably should never have helped finance and foment the coup in 2014, picked our guy to lead Ukraine after the coup, and then rewrite the Constitution specifically to put NATO expansion on the menu knowing it would antagonize Russia. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957 And that's not to absolve Putin, but if I pay a guy to wrestle a wild grizzly bear because I want to piss the bear off, then I deserve some of the blame because the bear just did what bears do. And the guy who wrestled the bear should have known better too.
