This isn't good for FB. People trying to compare this to Rupert Murdoch influencing WSJ, FN, FBN, etc... are drawing a false comparison. Those outlets are actually presented as "news", FB is an entirely new paradigm which presents itself as organic, user-generated content (hence social media). If there becomes a widespread belief that the content is in some way deceptive/altered, users will become more reluctant to share their personal information on the platform (who would want to post information on FB, then have FB show said content to your friends after it's deemed the parts of it that are appropriate?), thus removing the largest single variable that contributes to FB's value.
I know Mr. Zuckerberg has strong opinions on immigration (see the pop-up here: http://www.fwd.us/ http://www.fwd.us/), but he should separate his political views from his business.
