Whataboutism seems to be the go-to fallacy used by Facebook leaders.

See for example the ex CSO deviating the discussion to Apple privacy concerns in China: https://twitter.com/alexstamos/status/1090918043969114112



To be fair, whataboutism is rampant here too, on Reddit, and basically any forum with company fans. Any time a “Company A does something unethical” article comes up, people will always come out of the woodwork to defend with “Well Companies B and C do it too!”
