Yeah, the problem is Facebook has something like a billion users, and it is damn near impossible to police for abuses. And by abuses, I mean the regular run of the mill stuff. People making direct threats to others, uploaded pornography or even kiddie porn, copyright infringements, racist hate speech like going on someone's page and spamming with the "N" word, and other illegal forms of "speech". They do this literally by hand. Someone complains or flags something, and they have a team of people that review and delete things as necessary. A lot of high turnover in that job. People generally last 6 months and then go into therapy for PTSD. No joke. Humanity's worst is ugly.
So after they are done just doing all of that, they don't have a lot of human resources left to try and figure out if their platform is being abused by organized outsiders coordinating disinformation or if state actors are buying up propaganda adspace via shell corporations and the like. Even if they become aware, it's hard to figure out what to do about it. Those people by definition are harder to catch because they have resources and motives to cover their tracks, and they exist in a legal gray area. It's a monster they've created, and I don't know what the right answer is, honestly. I think the world would be better if FB and Twitter just went away, but that's not really a 'solution'.
