> The company’s platforms have been used to fuel the spread of terrorism and violent extremism, mass violence and online harassment. Meta’s core products – Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp – enable human trafficking, drug trafficking and the illegal wildlife trade, along with the proliferation of child sexual abuse material and child exploitation. People use Meta’s social media and messaging platforms to spread propaganda, disinformation and information warfare, undermining the integrity of our information ecosystems and elections around the world.

I count about 14 claims in this paragraph alone and no context, argument, or justification for why it’s true.

This article seems to be a gish gallop: make claim after claim of how Facebook is the cause of all the world’s ills with little justification until the last paragraph, where you conclude by saying that Zuckerberg shouldn’t be able to do something that nobody was suggesting they do.
