When I send an email, it goes to the group I sent it to, every one, every time.
When I post to Facebook, it goes to some percentage of my friends, some of the time, different every time, totally unpredictably. Plus Facebook sends them all sorts of content they didn't ask for, like recommendations, ads, an article some friend "liked", etc.
Facebook practices censorship as a business model. It's not a neutral communications platform; it hasn't been since they started running the timeline with an algorithm. It's a publishing operation.
No government made them do that. The point of these government hearings is to make them acknowledge and be accountable for the censorship and promotional decisions they are already making.
