"State" meaning to say or write a claim, no proof involved.

One could argue they are baiting OP to make a concise statement about Facebook policies. I wouldn’t touch that with 10 foot pole.

Strange, a concise statement about Facebook policies with a LOT of internal information is precisely what this blog is.
