This particular study may or may not turn out to be strong methodologically, but the real lesson here is that we need Facebook to provide data to independent researchers! The link between spread of hate speech and violence is of incredible importance, and causal studies are hard!

IMO, Germany is a best-case scenario for Facebook. A government they could not ignore forced them to staff up and respond at a scale that, as far as I know, they've not done anywhere else. (Someone correct me if there is another country).
