Not uniquely, but worse than most, since FB knows the problems, knows exactly how to fix them and actively chooses not to in order to maximize profits.

Not to mention that I happen to consider things like genocide and ethnic cleansing the worst of all crimes, which makes abetting those worse than the crimes of most other companies.

Fact is that Facebook is one of the most powerful entities in the world, more powerful than many if not most countries and they're knowingly abusing that power for profit.

There's nothing weird about holding them more accountable than for example a company with shoddy wages and working conditions. That's of course unacceptable too, but it's nothing compared to the atrocities of Facebook.

    Yeah FB is totally unique in that regard- lol.

    They're just big and public and make a lot of news that you've heard about. Dig deeper into the financial system and you'll find you live in a blood fountain theme park and you're covered in it too. But I know some people can't feel good about themselves without feeling morally superior to someone else so I guess if shitting on FB stock in particular is what you need who am I to deny you ;)

    Again: genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Huge scale election fraud. Basically contributing to the demise of civilized society on hundreds if not thousands of occasions.

    I know that basically all big companies are awful in one way or the other (usually several), but there is such a thing as differences in scale and there's no doubt that FB is one of the worst of the worst.

    I know it's important for some people to have a mascot for evil and I guess FB is yours. Don't ever look into what the petroleum products you depend on has cost humanity.

    I know it's important for some people to have a hobby and I guess demonstrating the kind of reading comprehension a third grader would be embarrassed of while spewing one whataboutism arter the other is yours.

    Don't waste any more of my time with your feigned lack of understanding or genuine idiocy.

    Whatever satisfies your desperate need to pretend you're morally superior.

    Eating chocolate makes you morally equivalent to a FB shareholder ;)
