Regardless of whether the things you assert caused the genocide or not, there was a genocide ongoing and your free speech and rational argumentation is completely impotent to stop it.

Do you believe Facebook could stop or even affect what happened in any meaningful way? Because I've got a bridge to sell

If they had taken action then fewer people would have undoubtedly got swept up, yea, absolutely 100%. I have to say though, “I don’t think it would’ve had much impact anyways so they should get a pass for knowingly profiting off of aiding and abetting a genocide” is not an argument I thought someone would ever seriously advance. Congratulations for that.
