It is becoming increasingly clear that Facebook (and other social networks) are not a net-positive thing for society as a whole, the way they currently are. So I wonder how much we should care about their opinion, other than understanding the power they can bring in fighting change. I think Facebook does not want to be evil, if the rules are the same for their competitors too they might be convinced to implement deep changes like this one. The alternative, which they will really not want, is that they are ultimately made liable for the defamation, paid disinformation campaigns and other forms of injustice they facilitate, in every jurisdiction where they operate.
