If Facebook didn't have the power to affect the decisions of their users they wouldn't have a business. The advertisements are just what they sell. As the platform owners, they can do a lot more in terms of information curation.

For the same reason different populations might complain by calling the customer support hotline on the back of the box or by submitting a pull request. That's how this group has learned is "the way" to do this.

Denying the concept of morality is merely a transparent excuse for not feeling bad about behavior you know to be immoral. You were doing better in your previous comment when you admitted you were being a bad person and simply didn't ca
