Politics is unavoidable. All businesses and people interact with power structures in some way. Pretending that they don't isn't neutrality, but rather a passive endorsement of the way things are. Big, entrenched, successful companies often have the luxury of assuming this stance because they like the way things are. As for Facebook in particular, their goal from the beginning has been to insert themselves into everyone's conversations. It's particularly absurd to think that they can avoid politics.
