Can you explain (with links please) how Facebook are ethically equivalent to tobacco companies (who's product literally (not figuratively) kills people).

If you can't, then I'm going to assume that it's mindless hyperbole (a straight to which Facebook, for whatever reason, appears to be prone to).




It’s a big disinformation network that among other things, fueled ethnic cleansing in Myanmar


They are expressing their own opinion, and the comment clearly explains how they draw a parallel between Facebook and tobacco companies. Why do you need a link?

Also, while Facebook may not directly kill people, the hate speech that it helps proliferate does have real consequences for real people. One such instance was in the Muslim genocide in Myanmar. Since you appear to like links a lot, here is one for you:

Their ad delivery network is a vechicle for cyberbulying and hate speech and these things do kill people.

It's also interesting how Japan tries to quell cyberbullying, while regular bulying is rampant in this country with kids dropping out of school.


All social media platforms are vectors for cyber-bullying and hate speech (whatever the hell that is).

At some point, one needs to accept that people suck, and we can't blame communications platforms for their suckiness (much as we might like to).
