The article claims that "Arturo Bejar" was "head of engineering at Facebook", which is simply false. He appears to have been a Director, which is a manager title overseeing (typically) less than 100 people. That isn't remotely close to "head of engineering".
I point this out because I think it calls into question some of the accuracy of how clearly the problem was communicated to relevant people at Facebook.
It isn't enough for someone to tell random engineers or Communications VPs about a complex social problem. Those people are not trained in identifying or responding to a genocide, nor do they have the organizational power or professional experience to initiate a serious reaponse.
It is saddening but not surprising to me that there was a communication breakdown.
