While there are still lessons to be learned from how the Russians used the social platform to sow discord ahead of America's 2016 presidential election, critics say Facebook — and Zuckerberg — aren't acting quickly enough to prevent meddling in the upcoming midterm elections.
"Facebook is a living, breathing crime scene for what happened in the 2016 election — and only they have full access to what happened," said Tristan Harris, a former design ethicist at Google. His work centers on how technology can ethically steer the thoughts and actions of the masses on social media and he's been called "the closest thing Silicon Valley has to a conscience" by The Atlantic magazine.

Only women can be rape victims.

You really have not thought this through.
If what you mean is that a man will only be erect if he wants to do the deed, and that this makes the male of a male-female pair not a rape victim, that's at least worthy of discussion (though I doubt you can make that case adequately in such a forum.) But to simply say "a man can't be a rape victim" or "only women can be rape victims" entirely glosses over what rape is, even if you restrict it to penetrative sex. Consider the plight of a male convict raped in prison by other male(s): Is such a man not a rape victim? How about a man who is raped by a woman using an object?

I have a problem. I can't get it up when a woman is not consenting. I think most men are like that but they pretend to be this hyper masculine alpha moron because of one reason (A), which in turn depends on a second reason:
(A) They are raised in a father-less society where the male figure is only present in action movies and crime thrillers.
(B) The society has always done this hero worshiping, and media just amplifies it up to the 11.
I read your comment and this is what I thought, so I said it :) On topic, though, what do we expect a Google employee to say? This is called sour grapes. After failing to create a social media platform and gutting the one they bought (Orkut) purely due to mismanagement and zero respect for their customer, they are now talking about Facebook being a crime scene. I don't think it is because they are left of the center. I think they are no where, as in they are part of the ruling class now. They preach to the choir now. And San Jose is pretty blue area, so...

“It seems to be, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, it’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.”
