> In 2016, internal analysis at Facebook found 64% of all extremist group joins were due to their own recommendation tools. Yet repeated attempts to counteract this problem were ignored or shut down.

That's pretty damning. Facebook execs knew that extremist groups were using their platform and Facebook's own tooling catalyzed their growth, and yet they did nothing about it.

Why anyone think capitalists can actually practice morality? That's never been done in the hundreds of years of history of capitalism.

And capitalists can be quite moral personally. Across the history, the rich and powerful have always had a positive image. But their enterprises have always been requiring regulations.
