I'm one of the ones that believe that Facebook should be better at policing there content. But they do pull down manifestos from mass murders and have been doing that for a long time. The first instances of that I'm aware of is the manifesto of the guy behind the 2011 attack on Norway. As soon as FB figured out who he was and what happened. His page and his manifesto went down, never to come back up again. I'm sure they did similar things earlier than that too, but that one I payed a lot of attention too, and remember like it was yesterday.

There's a major difference between "we take that stuff down, but aren't great at finding it" and "we outright refuse to take that stuff down".

What do you mean by rules? It was the company who decided this out of their free will.

Facebook actually makes an effort to curb people calling for and celebrating mass shootings.
