You're right. Telling bullies "no" does risk that other bullies will leave your site. But that risk is already there.

And Facebook is already seen as political; that ship has sailed.

I don't think that's true. Certainly the extremes on each side will say that. But I think everyone in the middle doesn't. I don't. Certainly not in the same way as I see Fox News/CNN/MSNBC as political.


We're only talking about the extremes. We're talking about spurious pressure from alt-right media.


It's funny that you don't think people marching in the streets, blocking traffic, screaming obscenities and destroying things right now aren't bullies.


I think you're inferring something here that was never explicitly stated.
