Not that I have any faith in Zuckerberg doing the right thing, ever, unless basically forced to, but I appreciated this from the above link:
Notably, the board also told Facebook it needed to consider several other measures, including “a comprehensive review of Facebook’s potential contribution to the narrative of electoral fraud and the exacerbated tensions that culminated in the violence in the United States on January 6.”The board said such a review “should be an open reflection on the design and policy choices that Facebook has made that may allow its platform to be abused.”

the Facebook board of directors faces the problem and forcefully covers it with mush.

Eh, Rupar is just the latest example though. It's not egregious, no, but there were a few of those Trump obsessed liberal dudes that tweet 400 times an hour that had been breathlessly repeating even those weird statements he issued from Mar-A-Lago.
I guess it's less Rupar's specific instance here than it is a fear that this is just the tip of the iceberg. It's not like Trump is going to stop saying stupid, insane shit and I could live perfectly fine without the, "hey you guys just gotta check out what he said now!" shit.

The CEO of my old company once arranged to pay for a lavish dinner for my wife and I while we were on vacation - at a place I didn't really want to eat. I found the whole thing showy and annoying (meal and experience of it being comped).
When I got back, our CFO told me I owed taxes on the dinner because it was compensation.
