This is a very low-quality comment. Amnesty International published a substantial, well-researched, well-sourced study. Your comment is low-effort Internet skepticism based on ignorance and a straw-man argument.

Read the report, gather data, then criticize it.

I'm talking about the article, not the report, and I tried to make clear where I didn't know things. Not sure what else would be appropriate.

> If there are people killing other people, I wouldn't say that a communication method was to blame. In Scream, Sidney didn't sue the phone company who let the killer call her from inside the house. The idea that some news feed posts whipped people up into a killing frenzy just sounds absurd.

This is the core of your point and a comment on the idea itself, not the way the article portrayed it. I think it's fare to characterize your dismissal as glib.
