Facebook seems to do less virtue signaling of this sort than a lot of tech companies. I don't know why. Maybe because its userbase skews older? Maybe they get called into enough Congressional hearings they feel the need to not throw fuel on the fire (not that they ever amount to anything)? Maybe they plan to play the "good cop" and be the company that drafts the regulations they'll all be subject to?
I'm going to say it is a bit rich of Facebook to demand ID to prove you're real yet object to ID requirements for voting. Though that hasn't stopped a bunch of other companies I've seen screenshots of online.
Don't get me wrong: I have no love for facebook. But they virtue signal less than say twitter. This doesn't make them "good", just slightly less evil than some.
