This is probably an unpopular opinion but I think Facebook has done exactly what everyone predicted they would do. I don't think that means they are not at fault in certain ways but ultimately the power to sway the election doesn't come from Facebook directly, it came from Americans seeming hatred of each other. If we had some basic level of civility and compromise on both sides, then Facebook would not have the power it does to sway elections.
This is really the root cause of a lot of problems right now and blaming everything but the polarization is probably just making it worse.
