I find it sort of hilarious that Facebook's only response to this is "well the pictures were not against the community standards". As if that were the problem.

After all the public quotes from Zuckerberg and all the things the company did, I'm not willing to entertain benefit of the doubt anymore for this kind of stuff.

What doubt?

Pictures were disproportionately popular with a demographic. Algorithm decided to use them to promote to a member of that demographic.

You may or may not think that's OK, but where's the doubt about what actually happened?

While I'm no Meta supporter it seems possible there was more to their response than what made it into this article.
