Facebook’s algorithm was problematic because it treated expressions of hatred for whites and men same as for other groups. It therefore had a “disparate impact” against minorities, which it should’ve revealed to “civil rights leaders.” washingtonpost.com/technology/202… 
Facebook rejected a plan to treat speech directed against people who were “Black, Jewish, LGBTQ, Muslim or of multiple races” more harshly, another sign of their “racism.” They finally agreed though to stop automatically taking down criticisms of whites, Americans and men.
It’s clear here that Facebook was taking into account conservative considerations, but was being pushed by the media and civil rights orgs. Focusing on big tech and woke capital are a mistake, they’re all being pushed by the same people in the same direction.
Conservatives feel more comfortable attacking rich white tech executives than black activists. Thus they talk about “woke capital” and “big tech” all the time but not “civil rights,” except when they’re claiming they invented the concept.
