Sounds to me like "Facebook lobbied for reduced responsibility". After all the non-stop news chastising FB for not censoring things that are fake or otherwise considered bad, I would expect them to want to defer responsibility on what is acceptable so they can just tell the public they are following the law using third party services. Same here w/ audio filters when the RIAA comes knocking, they can just point and say "talk to the filter service" and absolve themselves.
Sure, audio and ads are different at a nuanced level, but you can't have it both ways wrt filtering content in general. Either you mandate it or you accept the consequences of it being open. Putting the onus on the providers to police user content is somewhere in the middle which will bring predictable reactions to remove responsibility whenever possible.
