Because Facebook's algorithm decides what appears on each users' news feed, by that, even though it's an algorithm without human intervention, it can be said that filters / censors content.
If it wouldn't filter out content and it would just show every bit of content that each user uploads on each of their friends' news feed, it wouldn't be a problem. In Germany if you act as an editor over content (whether it's a script or human) it comes with responsibilities.

And, beside the fact that you can choose if you want the algorithm ordering or just the normal one, if you scroll down enough your news feed you will see all the post, so it's not actually filtering out content, beside for content that break their T&C
- manquer 10y agoAll users logged in or otherwise get the same content within a single subreddit. Users choose what sub reddit they want to see . That is big difference from Facebook choosing for me
