Facebooks problem is that it makes it easier for people to exchange ideas, news fake or not, and more, all without the oversight of government which really does not like that level of free interaction. local community interaction is fine, being able to interact nationally or globally with ease undermines the power of politicians and their political backers. the concerns are not about meddling in elections but meddling by people not approved by existing parties and their supporters. they want to control the message and approve the messengers. the internet as a whole is a threat to that but not organized enough to where other groups can communicate with like thinking people easily and quickly. tools like facebook give people the ability to organize beyond their local geographical area.
