I think you misinterpreted this?

Maybe. How do you interpret it?

I'm interpreting that the business development culture at Facebook disincentivized taking action against extremist groups.

Attempts to prevent it were shut down. Shutting something down is an activity, thus /active/.

What? This literally makes no sense, lol.

Edit: I see the confusion now. emilsedgh, you, and I all agree. I thought emilsedgh was saying the opposite of what they wrote.

Your original statement can be casually read to seem like your disagreeing with OP’s message (that Facebook did not quell extremist groups), due to the structure of your message (a lead statement followed by a delayed contradiction). You could make it clearer with better emphasis that you are stating “agree and” instead of “no because”.
