The issue with Facebook you see is that they (along with most huge tech corps) have become this weird amalgamation between fascist and communist. They're a private company that controls WAY too many assets, with way too much unregulated/unchecked power. They want equality for all, but yet they're willing to suppress every man's voice in order for their own mission, whatever that is. Their agenda ranges from personal freedom and free speech suppression to political campaigning; and far beyond the reach of both of those. When a company gets too big and consolidates too much power for themselves their own absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Facebook here has the power to regulate their own version(s) of the markets due to personal fear that their stock will be affected by the every man's voice and opinion. They fear being oppressed by the people, so they oppress the people's ability to have any control over them. For a publicly traded company this is insane, and it shows how fake everything really is behind the scenes. Only a few out there are truly allowed to trade on good information and swing markets their way.

Break up big tech.




If you think that big tech is bad, wait till you learn about Wall Street, the military industrial complex, the two political parties, the medical industry, etc, etc, etc...
