Attributing this to politics seems like a premature conclusion. Another possibility is that there are an increased number of competitors that compensate well. Uber, AirBnb, and others.
Also, it looks like the drop is only across 1 specific year so it's heavily subject to noise:
> the acceptance rate for full-time positions at Facebook from recent graduates of top-tier schools had fallen between 35 and 55 percent as of last December, down from an 85 percent acceptance rate for the 2017–18 school year.
If this were measured as as sliding window and showed consistent decline it'd be more convincing.
