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.
What a ridiculous argument. They’re not saying big tech companies are necessarily as abusive as those other organisations, they’re saying people might want to avoid them in the same way.
By contrast your comment, intentionally or otherwise, suggests the only valid reason to avoid interacting with an organisation is if you were literally raped by them. Now that is fucked up.
No it’s real simple, you lot act like these big tech companies are evil personified but happily look the other way or hand out whataboutism like candy when it is some group, institution or ideology you support doing the same or even more fucked up shit.
Which group, institution or ideology specifically are you talking about? Genuinely curious. Cause I can’t think of any that are the same or worse than fb/google/etc. That are supported here. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist, ofc, I’m just unaware, hence the question, would you give me some examples?
This is like inviting the Catholic church in an institution specifically built to protect former victims of same and similar institutions.
Given that anyone can start an instance and federate with Threads, or join an instance that does, freedom of choice is unaffected.
Are you seriously comparing systemic rape and abuse to your “big company bad” ideology?
That’s fucked up.
Meta is partially responsible for genocide, so it’s not actually that much of a stretch, honestly.

Do you not understand how metaphors work? Nothing is being “compared” here. Keep looking for things to be upset about.
This is actually a simile, not a metaphor. And a simile is a type of comparison .
A simile is a type of metaphor. All similes are metaphors, but not vice versa.
