Facebook decided not to block racism to keep 'conservative partners' happy

This is an article about a WaPo article about how some people allegedly think 'conservative partners' were 'predicted' to react? Each time it is rehashed, it is further distorted. What utter trash.

To my knowledge, the 'conservative partners' never actually made any statement. This is just a very sloppy and lazy attempt to call people - who did nothing - racists.

Give me substance or go away.

The framing here is off. This has nothing to do with racism and all to do with profits. Political pundits don't understand that class and material conditions are primary and the rest is just window dressing to cover up the widening gap between the rich and the poor.

Racism obviously exists but making the case for racism on Facebook is nonsensical. Facebook doesn't determine school policies and working conditions at Amazon warehouses, politicians do and Facebook here is just a scapegoat. More generally, whenever there is some story about the tech giants being racist then it's safe to assume it has nothing to do with racism and the writer is just not versed enough in actual political and economic theory to properly frame the real issue.
