Sorry, I don't mean this to be dismissive, but I don't think I can productively engage with the idea that Facebook is more closely analogous to the Nazi Party than to Walmart. I just wouldn't know where to begin.

My comparison was to IBM, not the Nazi party.

Facebook themselves already admitted that they were used to further a genocide, so your dismissal is somewhat beside the point.
