It's clear that this is not happening in any meaningful way, so his lack of action is simply an admission that he can't or won't do anything to prevent abhorrent behavior on the site he's responsible for. If it's a government, it's a powerless one, enforcing no laws but collecting taxes regardless. There's nothing to admire there.
