Facebook is just acknowledging reality. Politicians only tell the truth by accident.

  (1) Not all politicians. (2) Accepting money from someone to help them do wrong is not a neutral act. (3) Shrugging off the bad actions of some actors encourages other bad actors, and dulls the public outrage that is appropriate.

    (1) Yes, all politicians. Maybe they're lying by omission. Maybe they're using euphemisms to soft-pedal the facts. But they're still lying. (2) With all of the nefarious shit Facebook has done and continues to do, I can't muster much outrage over yet another piece of evidence that Mark Zuckerberg is a piece of shit who has no business possessing as much money or power as he does. Things aren't going to get better until corporations who engage in this sort of malfeasance start getting their charters revoked, their assets expropriated under civil forfeiture laws, and their executives prosecuted under the RICO statutes.
