Meta is partially responsible for genocide, so it’s not actually that much of a stretch, honestly.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

partially responsible for genocide

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

That’s literally like saying Victorinox helps support crime because people who commit crime sometimes use knives.

You are literally washing over the fact that this atrocity was fuelled and perpetrated by religious fanatics and corrupted governments.

Literally the only part which speaks about Facebook is that “social media may have helped spread the violent message” and that Facebook refused to share user data with investigators. Which without a warrant is standard practice.

You are doing the equivalent of putting pictures on a board and drawing strings between them.

They were warned multiple times that their platform was being used to fan the flames of a genocide, yet they did nothing. And their algorithm is designed to spread whatever gets the most engagement, which is usually hateful things.
