It also doesn't say very much. For an official statement I found it confusing. Maybe I'm not the audience.

  It's part of the "act like a chicken running around with its head cut off" antipattern. In many organizations there is a lot of pressure after a dramatic event to come out with a statement right away and this denies people the chance to deliberate about what the message should be. A big problem with Facebook's PR is that they reflexively deny that Facebook has any negative effects, that they had responsibility for anything, that anything is their fault, etc. It's a major reason why people think they are out of touch and why Zuckerberg has such low favorables. You're better off keeping your mouth shut and letting people think you don't give a f--k as opposed to writing a press release like that and proving it. They've been outmaneuvered for one thing because even before the supreme court struck down Roe there has been a drumbeat about the risks that people could have social media and other digital communications used against them in an abortion case and those people have been waiting for a real case to turn up.

  Maybe confusion was the intent. If not, they need to hire better writers.
