The true evil from facebook isn't the posts that incite violence. It's the posts that are flat-out fake, complete lies and/or present something completely out of context. These are the tools that Trump, right-wingers and white supremacists use to fool their supporters and trigger their seratonin generators through fearmongering. What is Facebook doing about THIS problem? What are they doing to combat blatant untruths spread all over their network? Zuckerberg's post does nothing to address this, the worst of problems. He's hitting softballs.
There's a question of scale and context. If there was a bar that could (a) fit two billion people into it, (b) work hard to ensure they're the only bar in the world, (c) allow powerful political groups or even foreign countries to (d) use misinformation to sow conflict and violence in a way that was (e) invisible to any one individual in the bar, well in that case I would probably be wondering what was going to be done about this problem. However, I wouldn't trust the owners of the bar to do anything about it.
This argument is the same one used in the assault rifle ban debate. It's a false equivalency.
You can kill people far more easily with an assault rifle than a handgun. You can spread deliberate misinformation far more easily, quickly and widely on social media than in a bar.

What a coincidence that those who disagree with you are all liars and brainwashed.
