I agree. I also think the elephant in the room is that with 2.7 billion users it would be literally impossible for Facebook to monitor every post for violations.

Maybe. Social media defies all previous attempts to corral the flow of information. I'm not at all sure the structures exist to do moderation at that scale. Even if you broke FB into ten separate companies, each would still have an unmanageable number of people posting. I truly believe it's the dilemma of our age, particularly considering their responsibility for the spread of disinformation.

Time for regulation and competition to cut them down to a "manageable size" so that they can take that responsibilty.
