I think the comparison is not meant to be between degrees of horribleness between the two events, but between degrees of complicity and denial on the part of Facebook management.

Complicity in what, exactly? Democracy? Personally I'm less concerned about Facebook staying neutral in 2016 and more concerned about their election sabotage in 2020:

Of course in the end things turned out for the best, but that's almost certainly not what Sheryl wanted, so I guess it's on theme for the book.
US nationals being subject to arbitrary detention by ICE, with the plan to deport them to irretrievable offshore prisons, is probably not the best.
I'm not following, which things turned out for the best?
> Complicity in what
The massacres in Myanmar and in the propagation of misinformation relating to the elections in the US in 2020, and probably 2024[1].
